Kiwis, always a source of humour
Wiremu, a New Zealander, was on the dole in Australia but about to fly home to watch the Rugby World Cup and was not feeling well, so he decided to see a doctor.
"Hey doc, I dun't feel so good, ey" said Wiremu.
The doctor gave him a thorough examination and informed Wiremu that he had long existing and advanced prostate problems and that the only cure was testicular removal.
"No way doc" replied Wiremu "I'm gitting a sicond opinion ey!"
The second Aussie doctor gave Wiremu the same diagnosis and also advised him that testicular removal was the only cure.
Not surprisingly, Wiremu refused the treatment.
Wiremu was devastated, but with the Rugby World Cup just around the corner he found an expat Kiwi doctor and decided to get one last opinion from someone he could trust.
The Kiwi doctor examined him and said: "Wiremu Cuzzy Bro, you huv Prostate suckness ey."
"What's the cure thin doc ?" asked Wiremu hoping for a different answer.
"Wull, Wiremu", said the Kiwi doctor "Wi're gonna huv to cut off your balls."
"Phew, thunk God for thut!" said Wiremu, "those Aussie bastards wanted to take my test tickets off me!"

Drafting men over 60 ----
For starters: Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.
Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.
An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a..m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch.
If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.
Boot camp would be easier for old guys.. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling..
They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training.
Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.
An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.
These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way..
Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.
How about recruiting Women over 50 ....in menopause! You think Men have attitudes! Ohhhhhh my God!
If nothing else, put them on border patrol.... They'll have it secured the first night!
Send this to all of your senior friends...it' is in big type so they can read it.
I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.

From my Mother....
After a few of hours of swearing and screaming, his wife paused and pointed at him and made him an offer:
'How would you like it if you didn't see me for a couple of days?'.....
The husband couldn't believe his luck, so he looked up, smiled and said,
'That would suit me just fine!!'
Monday went by, and the man didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday went by and he still didn't see her.
Come Thursday, the swelling went down a bit and he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

Toastmasters
It was fun. A friend invited me a few weeks ago and I agreed to go, but wasn't able to, too tired becuase of work last time it was on. This week I was still tired, but decided to make a go of it.
Funnily enough they said that I speak well... lolz. I participated in "table talk", and later was asked to comment in another section when they went around the table asking everyone "What would you do...?".
First I must tell you the joke....
(As told by another at the meeting.)
My question for the first table talk was "Who would you least like to be in parliament now?" My answer was Julia Gillard. In a stabby government she's received the poisoned chalice.An old bloke, 82, was having trouble with his plumbing. The doctor asked him to supply a sperm sample for analysis. The gent was provided with a small specimen jar and told to bring the sample back the next day.
The next day the gent arrived at the doctor's surgery, jar in hand. The doctor inspected the jar. Nothing. It was empty.
"What happened?" asked the doctor.
The gent, 82, said "No matter what I did I couldn't do it. First I tried with my left hand, then I tried with my right hand. Nothing. Then the wife tried. First with her left hand, then her right hand. Then she used her mouth. With the teeth, without the teeth. Nothing."
The doctor looked somewhat surprised.
"So then I asked the woman next door...." said the gent.
"The next-door neighbour!" exclaimed the doctor.
"Yes," replied the gent. "First she tried her hands, then she tried her mouth, but still nothing. Couldn't get the lid of the blasted jar."
Later was a round-table question about my reaction to someone with dreadlocks and harem pants who passed all people handing out how to vote cards to take a card from the Greens, who after voting loudly proclaimed that she was affronted by the other parties representatives trying to thrust their how to vote cards upon her. Avoiding a confrontation, I said that I'd say "Sod off, swampy," under my breath.
It was a fun night (I raised a few hearty laughs).
On the way home, after 9pm. I stopped to grab a pizza from the pizza joint in the town, it was excellent.
I was ill on Friday, but I've been told something is going around.
Today I helped on the sausage sizzle stall at the local flower show. There was a parade. That was fun, too. I spent some money on plants, now I have to cut the weeds where I want to plant them.

AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT AUGUST 2010.
This August has 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays, 5 Tuesdays, all in one month. It happens once in 823 years.UPDATE:
I wanted to let you know now because I'll probably miss it next time.
OK I've deleted the additional post - dunno how that happened, they were posted at exactly the same time, 10:44pm, so probably a blogger glitch.
I've a lot on my plate at the moment. It looks like six months after I've secured another job after being "redundified" from one school, I'm back in the same boat again. There's a big restructure happening at the rural campus I am at and four schools are being blended into a superschool under the science faculty. For my level job there will be three positions. There are five people at my level.
Sux.
