Banana Report #74, December 2004

In the news recently: The Australian Government has offered the remote Western Australian outback town of Mulan (population 150) a much needed petrol bowser if the local Aboriginal population agree to ensure their children shower daily and wash their face twice a day, and they keep their yards clean and stop abusing petrol.
So... they're installing petrol bowsers in an effort to stop petrol sniffing? Isn't that a bit like invading countries to reduce the risk of terrorism?

This is all part of the Federal Government's mutual obligation scheme. As a tax payer and registered voter, I say we set up our own mutual obligation scheme, whereby politicians are only paid based on:
1) Waiting times in hospitals
2) Trains running on time
3) Them washing their childrens faces twice daily
4) Behaving themselves in Parliament and not wasting our money
Sounds good, but the politicians will never pass it.

US Soldiers about to enter Iraq have confronted Donald Rumsfeld over what they call their "hillbilly armour" - where they arm their tanks with scrap metal found in dumps. Rulmsfeld's response: "Huyk Hyuk. It goes with your roadkill Halli-burgers, Paw."

A study by recruitment consultant Robert Walters has come to the conclusion that Australians are statistically the most honest in the world when it comes to taking sick days, with only 4.9 percent lying about their days off work. Lying in surveys on the other hand....

James Brown has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. How did he find out? He told his doctor to "get on up" his anus and have "a feel good" around.
