red lorry, blue lorry

no, not the tongue twister (although it would be fun to keep repeating it ... red lorry blue lorry red lorr-somebody stop me!)
no, this is a ditty that involves a late night at work and the recycle bin.
so it came to be that last week i had to work late on thursday and after venting my fury on my colleague because i was forced to miss the apprentice, i was merrily tapping away at the keyboard when what should i see but the very same colleague throwing a banana peel into the blue recycle bin.

oh, if i forgot to mention, i am also a huge environmentalist and so i descended into a lengthy pitch about the virtues of recycling and what to do with certain types of aluminium cans and paper trash and what to do with certain other types of trash, namely banana peels and used prophylactics. infact i always pictured the two types of trash going to the city dump in two separate trucks (still reciting in my mind: red lorry blue lorry ...)
the poor chap was forced to drop the peel into the regular black trash can.
10 minutes passed and along came the cleaning lady who then unceremoniously grabbed both trash cans and emptied their contents together into one large wheeled canister.
before i could say hola!, the deed was done and she was off on a new expedition to destroy a tropical rainforest somewhere and, i am sure, kill some baby seals while at it...
aaaaaaaargh!!!!
