Peter's got a pointy head???? I would think it would have flattened

when he fell off the roof onto it last month....


A cruel Oz joke relating to the small population and the
inbreeding of the Isle of Tasmania. One has to assume that
Peter, having fled Sydney for Tasmania, ahs embraced all the
special features of the locality...

He went there to improve the gene pool.

Bwahahahaahahahaha. Exactly what I was going to say!

OK. Being a kind and reasonable person, I'm forced to admit that
you're right, and I was being unnecessarily cruel in my comments,
and that your move to Tasmania _has_ improved the local gene pool
significantly, as well as improving Sydney's.

Yep. I have 3 bright kids still living in Sydney so you're 100%
correct, I've improved both gene pools!

Not quite the way you meant, of course, and you could have had the
decency to acknowledge a paraphrase of Piggy Muldoon.

Isn't it wonderful
that there are still a few places where even a low achiever can
make a significant mark?

Absolutely! If I can't make it here, I'll just have to move to SA where
the standards are even lower. After that, I'm afraid the next (last)
stop would be NZ. Oz is planning on skipping the intermediate rungs...

BTW purebred Tasmanians don't have pointy heads, they have 2 heads. My
boss is a prime example. In his case, 2 heads aren't better than one
tho, or a) he never would have employed me and b) he never would have
given up his last job (which I now have).

South Australians. Live at the end of Oz's cloaca. One must make
allowances.

All grist to the bottom dweller's mill!

Plenty of grist flows down the Murray/Darling system. It only needs to
be a little thicker and you could farm it.
