        &lt;p&gt;A young bloke walks into a seedy cafe in a small town in Sandwell.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He sits at the counter and notices an older man with his arms folded, staring blankly at a bowl of chili.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After about 15 minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young man bravely asks: "If  you're not going to eat that, mind if I do?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The older man slowly turns his head toward the youngster and says: "Be my guest!"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eagerly, the young man reaches over and slides the bowl over, starting to spoon it into his mouth with delight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a rotten dead rat in the chili. The sight is so shocking he immediately pukes up the chili into the bowl.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The old man quietly says: "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;There were these three people called Rubbish, Manners, and Go away. They were all related since they were all brothers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One day Rubbish got flattened by a train, so Manners started to sweep him up. Then, a policeman came up to Go away and asked: "What is your name?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Go away replied: "Go away."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The policeman said, "Now really! Please, I only need your name. What is it?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Go away said simply: "Go away."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The police started to angry at this point. "Just say your name and I'll go away!" he hissed. "What is your name?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Go away."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The policeman got very frustrated here. He glared at go away and asked: "Where's your manners?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Sweeping up Rubbish."&lt;/p&gt;
