  1. My three kids were brought up in Catholic schools. My wife was Catholic, and the kids had to go to a Catholic school. My sons went to a Catholic  boys secondary college, and my daughter to a Catholic co-ed secondary college. She is a much better carpenter than I am. Made some good stuff we still use more than 20 years later. She wanted to be a teacher, so went to Uni and got a Batchelor of Arts degree (qualifies you to flip burgers.) She did work experience as a teachers assistant, but was deemed unsatifactory because she couldn't control the kids. She says she couldn't work in an office, so has been a school crossing supervisor (lollypop lady) for twenty years. She was also carer for my mother-in-law, my wife, and to a lesser degree, for me.

  2. Elsa, a 97-year-old midwife, finally passed away after a long and happy life.
    When she arrived at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter was standing there waiting for her.
    He said, “Welcome, Elsa. Do you have a last wish before you enter paradise?”
    “I do,” Elsa replied.
    “I would like to return to Earth for a few minutes and for once in my life witness a birth where the father is the one who has to endure the pain of having a baby.”
    St. Peter thought this was a reasonable request, so Elsa was sent back to Earth for a short while.
    She found herself standing in the home of a woman who was just having a baby.
    While giving birth, the mother seemed to be in no pain whatsoever.
    The midwife was curious to see how her husband was doing but was surprised to see him calmly sitting on a chair by an open window, smoking his pipe.
    “How are you feeling? Aren’t you in pain?” the midwife asked him.
    “Oh no, I’m feeling great,” the husband replied.
    “But I think we have to call for an ambulance. Our neighbor John is lying out there on the lawn screaming his head off!”

  3. Here's an opportunity to see how observant you are. I have a series of before and after photos of Donald Trump. Each pair of photos has four differences. See how many you can get. Do not post results here, that would spoil it for others. I will post the answers and next images each day. There are 6 pairs in the set. I got most, but not all of them. Here's the first set.

  4. The Last Leg again tonight. They were discussing sex toys ordered online for Christmas and the delivery problems. "too big to fit in the letterbox", "imagine it being delivered to your neighbour", etc.

     

    Josh Widdicombe said, "I know someone who will deliver it for you on Christmas Eve".

     

    Adam Hills says, "Who?"  Josh replies, "Father Clitoris".

    POTATOES

    Well, a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, and finally they got married, and had a little sweet potato which they called 'Yam'.

     

    Of course, they wanted the best for Yam. When it was time, they told her about the facts of life. They warned her about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself like 'Hot Potato'.

     

    Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten potato out of her!

     

    But on the other hand, she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either.

    She would eat properly so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins.

     

    When she went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for those hard-boiled guys from Ireland and the greasy guys from France called the French Fries, and when she went out West, she must watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.

     

    They sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University). So that when she graduated, she'd really be "in the Chips".

     

    But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home and announced she was going to marry Richie Benaud.


    "Richie Benaud!!!!", they cried.

    They were very upset and told Yam "You can't possibly marry

    Richie Benaud because he's just ........

    Are you ready for this? Are you sure?

    OK! You asked for it: Here it is!

  6. Four teenage boys celebrating end of school went missing overnight after going in an inflatable craft at Rosebud Beach last evening, and failed to return. An extensive search was called off at 4.00 am, and resumed this morning. They were found safe and well .... at Queenscliff.
