A POEM
(Preview)
A POEM TO WHICH I CAN RELATE. I remember the corned beef of my childhood, And the bread that we cut with a knife, When the children helped with the housework, And the men went to work, not the wife.

''Australian'' tennis player Nick Kyrgios has had another meltdown (how many is that now, we've lost count). Australian tennis would be far better off without the embarrassment of this unsporting idiot. Banning him for life would be the only logical decision. We're tired of his pathetic antics &a...

(Preview)
First, you survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Garfield on the oil crisis A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in Australia. Well, there's a very simple answer. Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we were getting low. The reason for that is purely geographical. Our OIL is located in: Bass...

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin back.' She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to...
