From Not Always Right : This Whole Story Is Garbage
Our office has a cleaner who comes in twice a week to clean up, empty the bins, and so on. She was on holiday, so as my bin was now full, I decided to empty mine and my colleagues’ bins. I collected a couple of large bags and got to work.
When I reached the Quality Manager, he gave me a smile and commented:
Quality Manager: “[My Name], you’re rubbish at this job.”
Me: Light-heartedly “Oh, ha, ha, ha.”
Admin Assistant: “Yeah, [My Name], where you bin?”
This got a little cheer from across the room, as she is usually the loudest one for groans and other exasperated noises whenever a pun war starts.
Admin Assistant: “I got one in! I’ve never done that before, but I got one in!”
Me: “I always knew she’d join in if we would litter.”
Design Engineer: “This is a waste of [My Name]’s skills.”
Quality Manager: “Did you get training for this, [My Name], or did you just pick it up as you went along?”
Technical Manager: “He read the manual litter by litter.”
Design Engineer: “If he doesn’t watch out, he’ll get the sack!”
Admin Assistant: “How do you all do it? I can’t think of any more puns!”
Quality Manager: “I’m surprised [My Name] hasn’t joined in.”
Me: “Hey! I did one earlier; you didn’t hear it.” In an obviously fake indignant voice “I think I’ve had enough of this trash talk!”
And as I had now finished the collection, I left the room with two very full bags to the sounds of a lot of groans. Sweet…

There is life out there – but intelligent? That’s debatable.

Which just goes to show, intelligence and morality (or just plain politeness) are not necessarily connected.

They’re just returning the garbage we left on the Moon and Mars and Venus and Titan and a couple of asteroids.
