On a tour of Australia, the Pope took a few days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing.

He was cruising along the beach in the Pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore. A helpless man, wearing an All Black rugby jersey, was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25 foot shark. As the Pope watched in horror, a speedboat pulled up with three men wearing Wallabies rugby jerseys.

One quickly fired a harpoon into the sharks side while the other two reached out and pulled the blue semiconscious Kiwi fan from the water. Then, using long clubs, the three beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat.

Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to him.

"I give you my blessing for your brave actions. I heard that there were some bitter hatreds between Australian and NZ rugby fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true."

As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies,
"Who was that?"
"It was the Pope" one replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom."

"Well" the harpooner said,
"he may have access to God and his wisdom, but he doesn't know s**t about shark fishing. Is the bait holding up OK or do we need to get another one?"

NZ Earthquake
A major earthquake, measuring 9.1 on the Richter scale has hit New Zealand this morning. The country is devastated with 350,000 New Zealanders missing, and over 100,000 injured.
The country is totally ruined and the government is so overwhelmed that it has issued a worldwide appeal for assistance. Other nations have been quick to respond to the disaster.
Britain is flying in rescue workers and sniffer dogs to help locate trapped victims.
The USA is flying in food supplies and aid money.
France is flying in doctors, nurses and first aid units.
Japan is flying in high tech communications equipment.
Germany is flying in special trained police squads to help restore order.
Russia is flying in tents and warm clothing.
Australia is flying in 350,000 replacement Kiwis.......

In 1869, the 14-year-old Ned Kelly was arrested for assaulting a Chinese pig farmer named Ah Fook.  :roflmao:

Ah Fook  :lol:  claimed that he had been robbed by Ned, who stated that Ah Fook   :rofl: had a row with his sister Annie. Kelly spent ten days in custody before the charges were dismissed. From then on the police regarded him as a "juvenile bushranger".

RACK OFF NORMIE - a veritable Icon....lol


Maureen Elkner


I was minding me business down in the street
There was a nice Hell’s Angel I was hoping to meet
I was standing on the footpath having a nice dream
And he was in the Parathonon buying an ice cream

Along came a lair in a hot FJ
He leaned out the window and he said “G'day”
He said “my names Normie, do you want a ride”
And then me Hell’s Angel hero came out from inside
He said, rack off Normie, you and your mates
I know what your after, but I’ll put you straight
I’ll smash your back window with a great lump of rock
So rack off now before I do me Block
So rack off now before I do me Block

And they did

Well that was the last we saw of Norm and the gang
They shot off up the road with a clatter and bang
And I said to myself as I walked back inside
These local blokes here have sure got a hide

The Hell’s angel an I got married immediately
Me dad and six brothers arranged it exceedingly
Now he’s on the run, and I’m on the deserted wife’s pension
I wish I’d paid Normie a bit more attention

Instead of saying

Rack off Normie, you and your mates
I know what your after but I’ll put you straight
I’ll smash your back window with a great lump of rock
I wish I hadn’t of told him to p-push off
I wish I hadn’t of told him to…..
Rack off Normie, you and your mates
That Old Hell’s Angel didn’t have what it takes
If I’d only listened when you said “G'day”
We’d be happy in the back of your hot FJ
Happy in the back of your hot FJ
Awww Normie,
You could have had me if you played your cards right

Cupie's offering is more like the 21st century's take on the FJ Holden.

"NOT HAPPY, JAN!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2akt3P8ltLM)

The phrase not happy, Jan has now firmly established its place in Australian English. It began its career in 2002 in a television advertisement for the Yellow Pages.  At the beginning of the advertisement the boss of a company is flicking through the newly-arrived Yellow Pages and can’t find the advertisement for her company. The advertisement was to have been placed by the employee Jan, who missed the deadline. In response to her boss’s loud question about what happened to the advertisement, Jan flees the building. The boss opens an upstairs window and yells Not happy, Jan after the hapless, fleeing Jan.

A Sidney Nolan painting of Ned Kelly has sold for a record-breaking $5.4 million to an unknown bidder.

First Class Marksman, a 1946 painting of the legendary outlaw, smashed the previous record for an Australian artwork of $3.48 million when it went under the hammer in Sydney.
