Honesty is best policy

TWO lads meet up each week at the Toowoomba Sports Club for a chat, a beer and a spot of pokies from which they always split the winnings 50/50.

On Wednesday, one had to go to the toilet so his mate put $20 in another machine and when his mate returned handed him $70, half of a $140 win.

His mate declined to take the money initially because the pair hadn’t been playing the same machine as per their usual practice.

However, a little while later the other guy had to visit the men’s and his mate, likewise, put $20 in another machine.

When his mate returned he was handed $700, half of a $1400 win.

Pays to be honest!

Boyz n the hoodie

LASS braved the cold, foggy climes for some light exercise and headed to Queens Park for a few lappies.

Wearing a warm-up hoodie on the way to the park, Miss Fit took said jumper off at the park perimeter and proceeded to jog/walk/stagger around for two laps.

Returning to the starting point, Miss Fit found she had fallen victim to a heinous crime – someone had stolen her hoodie, leaving her to walk home wet and cold.

“There’s a lesson in that about not exercising,” she told Whispers.

Back to the future

HIGHFIELDS woman received a back-handed compliment last weekend when refused entry to a nightclub.

Though she enjoyed a healthy nightclub life in Toowoomba back in her younger days, the 50-something these days is usually in bed by a reasonable hour.

However, out with some girlfriends for dinner, she was talked into visiting one of the city’s CBD nightclubs late last Saturday night but was denied access due to her having no ID on her.

“Look at this face,” she said to the bouncer, “Do I look under age?”

Under the new licensed club laws, even octogenarians can’t enter without ID.
