    With all that is going on in the world today we need some laughs.
    Locked down as we are here in Victoria any laugh will do.

    Today on the mid-day TV news we had one of the best for some time, if we had not heard and seen it as it was we would never have believed it.

    The border between Victoria and NSW is closed due to you know what.
    A Sheep farmer lives on the Victorian border, but the farm land his sheep are on is in NSW.
    They have grass but also need some hay, he has a permit to normally cross the border but cannot use it in the current situation.

    So he rang the appropriate department and spoke to a public servant.
    Explaining that he had to get feed stock to his Sheep he was told the following.

    'Sir we cannot allow you to cross the border but suggest two alteratives to you dilema, you could put the Sheep on a plane and fly them into Victoria and find land there', No doubt they would travel cattle class, or you may load two tonne of hay onto an aircraft and fly it to Sydney. There it will sit in quarantine for two weeks, how do you test Hay for Virus one wonders, then transport by road the 1,000klm to the farm land where your Sheep are'

    You are having a lend of me said the farmer?
    No sir came the reply we take this very seriously!!

    I now understand that 'Yes Minister' has a lot to answer for.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.
