Another riparian ramble

Our original hares were not the only ones to call in sick this week, so there were only 13 hardy and healthy souls who turned up at Undambi Reserve for a pleasant stroll along the South Pine, and for the usual Potluck banquet. Leave Pass entertained with another of his charades....

Here are some photos of the event, courtesy of Cash Converta:


Looking well ahead, Superhacker will be in town in October and is already planning one of her UQ jacaranda trails. It will be great to re-live one of these - we've missed them over the last couple of years.

And now here are a couple of tales from the Emerald Isle for your enjoyment.

Paddy is up before the bench, charged with taking a barrel of Guinness from round the back of the pub. After hearing the case the magistrate comes to her decision: "Case dismissed - insufficient evidence." 

"Please, Your Honour," Paddy asks, "what does 'insufficient evidence' mean?" 

"It means you are free to go."

"And can I keep the grog?"

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the same town, the Mother Superior is talking to some convent girls about their plans for the future.

"Mary Kelly," she asks one thirteen year-old, "what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I'd like to be a prostitute," comes the answer.

The Mother Superior faints dead away. Nuns come running with the smelling salts, and after a glass of water the Mother Superior recovers enough to continue.

"I'm sorry, my child," she says, "I think I must have misheard you. What did you say you wanted to be?"

"A prostitute."

"Oh, thank heavens for that! For a moment I thought you said you wanted to be a Protestant!"
