As his students christened him Mr, Guns in derision after they found out from the school caretaker who was visiting the same clinic, he thought it advisable to change the name of the school on some fairy tale. As during the 17th century they didn't have guns as such but muskets, he should have changed the name of the school to such, especially as he found out later he had a full house. Cheers JWS

    That's one for my baby and one for the Road. And a new and clean bowl for my pedigreed crossed greyhound with a dashund with a touch of the afghan hound in it. Please. And that mongrel sitting in the corner making rude signs at me give him a schooner and he likes a sprinkling of pepper on the top. Cheers JWS PS will have to get geared up with the right vernacular as off to the wild west tomorrow morning first thing. Have decided to go by car and sample any happy drinking holes on the way to the gold fields and Kalgoorlie. Brians hunting grounds, hope he hasn't left any non pedigree life forms behind.

    If you had a $1billion and you stood on a street corner handing out $1 per second, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, you would still not have handed out $1 billion after 32 years!!

    BIG number! This is how to explain it:

    This is too true to be funny.

    The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a
    casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.

    A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advert-


    ising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some


    perspective in one of its releases.

    A.
    A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

    B.
    A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

    C.
    A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

    D.
    A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

    E.
    A billion Dollars ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

    Stamp Duty
    Tobacco Tax
    Corporate Income Tax
    Income Tax
    Council Tax
    Unemployment Tax
    Fishing Licence Tax
    Petrol/Diesel Tax
    Inheritance Tax
    (tax on top of tax)
    Alcohol Tax
    G.S.T.
    Property Tax
    Service charge taxes
    Social Security Tax
    Vehicle Licence / Registration Tax
    Vehicle Sales Tax
    Workers Compensation Tax
    Carbon Dioxide Tax


    STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

    Not one of these taxes existed 60 years ago and our nation
    was one of the most prosperous in the world.
    We had absolutely no national debt.
    We had the largest middle class in the world. Mum stayed
    home to raise the kids, Dad and teachers were allowed to discipline kids.
    A criminals life was uncomfortable.
    Boat people were kids sailing on the harbour.
    What the hell happened?
    'Political Correctness', ‘Politicians or both?' I hope this goes around Australia and beyond at least 100 times

    Brian as we know most politicians talk in telephone numbers at the best of time. I doubt they have even the slightest idea what a billion is.
