...has his head kicked off by a bin man, so they sacked the bin man.

A BINMAN has lost his job after being caught kicking the head off a snowman built by a three-year-old.
The incident was caught on camera by Sophie Taylor, who says she was 'shocked' when she saw the binman kung fu kick the head of her little boy Joseph's snowman in front of their house.
The refuse is then seen kicking the body, destroying the snowman, while his colleagues empty the bins in the street.
The incident happened in Hereford and was reported by our sister title The Hereford Times, where a video of the incident has gone viral.
Mum Sophie Taylor, 25, told the newspaper that Joseph likes to wave at the binmen every week, and then "he goes and does that in front of his face".
But now Herefordshire Council has said the binman will not be working for its contractor again after the video went viral.
“We are aware of this incident and are disappointed that an individual representing the council would behave in such a manner," they said.
"The employee was a member of agency staff working on behalf of one of the council’s contractors, and he has been informed that he will not be used again.
"Information has also been circulated to all agency employees outlining the professional standards they are expected to uphold when representing a Herefordshire Council contractor.”
Miss Taylor added neighbours' children helped to build the snowman, while maintaining strict social distancing.
