Tickle my funny bone
FOUR cannibals apply for a job at a big company.
The boss tells them when they start work that eating people is a no-no.
The cannibals promise not to eat anyone and get to work.
Everything is fine for a few weeks and then one day the boss comes in and says, “hey fellers, the office cleaner is missing. Do you know anything about it?”
The cannibals give their word that they have had nothing to do with the cleaner going missing.
As soon as the boss leaves, their leader turns to the others and screams, “you idiots. Who ate the cleaner?”
One of the cannibals slowly puts up his hand. “You fool,” the leader shouts. “For weeks we’ve been feasting on PR people, human resources and marketing staff and you go and eat someone they can’t do without.”
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“I’m sorry that people listened to what we said and then acted on that and now find themselves in a position they don’t want to be in.”
Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe apologising to Australians for taking him at his word in 2020 and again last year when he said interest rates were unlikely to rise until 2024.
The apology has proven to be cold comfort for young Australians who acted on his prediction and went out and bought a home, only to be trapped
FOR the record: In the article last week about the champion bucking horse Windermere Whirlwind I suggested that the Winton Rodeo Association might have got a bit carried away when it held what it called its “World Championship Rodeo” in the 1950s.
I have been assured that it was in fact a bona fide world championship and that it was recognised as such by the American Rodeo Association. Once again, hats off to Winton.
