What a great night.
Some 26 of us ventured to Springfield for a Rotary Night. The venue surprised us by setting up a smaller, and warmer room. The room also seemed to encourage conviviality. Our guests were Laurel Colley and Jill Marquette, both prospective members checking us out. Mark Couper (Dural Chamber of Commerce) gave an excellent presentation on the Chamber’s activities. Mark was supported by Dianne Paton of Dooral Roundup fame. I attended a District Presidents Meeting on the weekend and report:

He sits there for a while, then calls out to the bartender. “Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?” At that point the entire bar falls deadly silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, “Before you tell that joke, cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:
The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, “No, not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.” |

Looking for a good job on the Murray River ??
Sally Mulligan of Paddington NSW decided to take one of the jobs that most Australians are not willing to do. Sally applied for a job in a lemon grove and seemed to be far too qualified for the job. She has a liberal arts degree from the University of Adelaide and had worked as a social worker and a school teacher. The foreman frowned and said, "I have to ask you, have you had any actual experience in picking lemons ??" "Well, as a matter of fact, I have," she said. "I've been divorced three times, owned two Jeeps, voted twice for Labor, and once for Clive Palmer.” ........ She starts in the morning. Tony C

Should have measured twice!

Apparently, you don't want anyone seeing
your face, but everything else is okay? |
The oak seat is a nice touch, though.
|
And the purpose for the door is … ?
|
This stall is for people that have arms like an orangutan.
|
This would be the "half bath" noted in the real estate listing?
|
Very Classy! And, only three steps to the throne when you're in a hurry!
|
How does this even get past the planning phase?

And now drum roll please..
