I had a religious minister talk about Ghana, there were these plastic baggies everywhere, they were sold with water in them on the streets. So they got all the kids together to pick up the garbage.
One lady was in charge of the final collection, she took all the piles of garbage they collected (spent hours) and through it out the back of their shop on the ground.

Your words didn't come across as funny, and mine seemed to come across as negative in some manner to you. If we had been talking, you would have seen a smirk, and I'd have slapped your shoulder with a "knock it off buddy". (next time add /joke, I'll add /ah-shucks) /fix internet miscommunication
