'political correctness'

[Gulliver]

#3... Gulliver... The term guns as most of us know was the endearing name for gonorhea. just maybe he had caught such off the toilet seat and every day he went to school was reminded of his own stupidity in going into the toilet after Miss English the French Teacher, that was his story and he was sticking to it. 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

You're right ........

Waiter! I'll have what John's having !

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

John, it all depends on the look on the face of the spruker whether you buy the next round or put a dent in his dial the shape of you for'd.

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.
