A Funny Thing Happened ...
Now for those of you out there who get offended by thoughts
of ancient arms and legs entwined in lustful embraces, now
may be the time to turn away.
For the issue of fogie sex has appeared in Queensland where
a Brisbane brothel is offering discounts for pensioners.
Yup, in the state of former rugby league greatness it seems
that the warmer weather keeps the old folks blood up and ...
well ... interested shall we say.
Anyway the brothel owner reckons we oldies deserve some consideration
in retirement and so there is a five per cent discount between
6am and midnight on Sundays.
Seems like Sunday could be a sacred day after all!

Talk about it hitting the fan. A Californian chappie has
wiped the courtroom floor with a US airline after it bombed
his boat with frozen toilet waste.
The poor guy was asleep in his boat when all of a sudden
fist-sixed chunks of frozen sewage pelted his 12-metre cruiser.
Not only did it ruin his sleep - he was not best pleased
with having to wipe up the mess.
For the first time in US legal history the court agreed it
was the airline's fault and ordered the company to pay almost
$5000 in compensation.
Needless to say American Airlines bosses were a bit shitty
over the faecal matter.
********
Local stockbroking hero Rene Rivkin - he who is too sick
for weekend jail - is having more than a few health problems.
Not only does he have Nervosia Collapsia and an infected
eye, but he also seems to have needed a brain scan.
Don't worry dear readers, he came through it okay and the
medicos reported officially that 'yes - he has a brain'.
Wonderful news!
********
A bit of bad luck here for a 73-year-old Japanese runner
in a South African ultramarathon.
Half-way through the 89-kilometre endurance test he was set
upon by a couple of muggers and had his runners nicked.
Now while I can sympathise with the old fellow it has to
be said that losing your runners is nowhere near as bad as
being given a necklace by robbers. (In South Africa they kill
people by putting a tyre necklace around a person's head and
setting it alight.)
********
And to finish how about this for a tasteless, trying-too-hard-to-be-funny
headline in The Melbourne Age.
On a report about one in four women being physically abused
the header was "1 in 4 young women hit by violence".
Talk about crudely stating the bleeding obvious - must be
a frontrunner for a Walkley Award.
