In Florida, the US, there was a protest last week against legislation that makes topless women a criminal act. Although 1000 women were expected on the march, only 50 actually turned up and were greatly outnumbered by the thousands of, largely male, curious spectators. Only one of the protestors, the organiser Liz Book, actually removed her top. She was promptly arrested. In the US displaying ones chest is a crime for wom...
Told by an Ethiopian Taxi Driver in Wellington, New Zealand. An Ethipoian, a Hindu and an American are travelling together on a train. A fellow passenger asked them what they thought of the nutritional value of Beef. The Ethiopian looked puzzled and asked 'What is nutritional value?'

The Welsh Taxi Driver. In Coober Pedy I met a Welsman who told me a little story. Many years ago he had been prospecting in Northwest Canada in a one horse town called Broken Stick for anything the earth would yield; ore, gold, oil anything that could be sold further south. There was one road in town a kilometer in length and dotted with higgledy-piggledy hotels, busy bars and bordellos. Men slept ten to a room where it was dangerous to light a cigarette because of the fartin...
Dear all, In the outback, other than keeping whip snakes out of your swag bag, there is little to do other than gather around the camp fire with scrubby old diggers and swap tales of BLOOD CHILLING TERROR! On one particularly chill night, with a host of stars crowding the sky, an old aboriginal opal miner from Coober Pedy bade us gather around the flickering flames and crackling gum-bark to hear tell of the min-min lights. The min-min lights were named by the abor...
A small Chinese man pushes porter from the vast red-bricked megalith of Market City towards the rat infested destinations of of Chinatowns restaurants. His cargo is wide punnets of purple broccoli, and he sings to himself in a strange, alien sort of nasaly wail as he coughs and spits his way eyes shut throught the familiar songlines between gawping tourists and touting waiters. A beautiful young woman in impossibly tight white jeans that draw the male eye to consider, is she or isn...
From the Australian Newspaper: 'There was another story doing the rounds in Sydney some years ago which, one could only assume, was a furphy but which, delightfully for those who live off the grist in the gossip mill, turned out to be true. It was divorce time for a well-heeled couple and things were unusually acrimonious. He was in London on business, she here in the family mansion from which he had not moved. The telephone ran hot with screaming, tantrums, threats and accusations. Sh...

The US has accepted the retraction saying 'They have done what they needed...
Israeli troops this week have seized over $8 million US dollars in raids on Palstinian banks, claiming the money was ear-marked for terrorism.

This would include paying for an extension to the wall being built to protect the Palestinians from themselves, along with a new swimming pool for his wifes servants tennis partner...

Protests surrounding Mel Gibsons blood spattered epic, The Passion of Christ, has alarmed Jewish Communities fearing that they would be blamed for his crucifixion. Mel Gibson has reluctantly agreed to change the script of the Sequel so that the ultimate blame for Christ's crucifixion would be laid elsewhere. It is believed that in the sequel, 'The Passion II, The Resurrection', to be sponsored by Viagra, will emphasise that the responsibility for Christs death was entirely due to a co...
