Australians have always been known for having a very unique sense of humour.

Recently in Mackay, Queensland, Australia, Carl Stanojevic received a text from Nick (his neighbor) asking him to “take my bins out,”. He replied “yeah sure no problem any particular place?”. This is when the wonderful Australian sense of humor was put on full display. Carl then took the trash bin to the beach, the tattoo parlor (where he had the number 6 “tattooed” on the bin), then a stop at the pub for a “coldie”. According to the article at goodnewsnetwork.org, Carl said the newly tattooed garbage bin also stopped to make a phone call “to talk trash”.

After 5 hours out on the town, Carl returned home with the trash bin and let Nick know that he completed the favor along with a photo album of the day.

"Taking Out The Trash"...haha

Carl said that he loves to put a smile on people’s faces and that he and Nick “catch up for a beer when we can and have a chat and a few laughs. He’s a beautiful person. You’d do anything for him. He said take my bin out. If he had said put my bin out it would have been just a normal day in Mackay.”

I hope you think of this story and smile the next time you take out the trash!
