1. AFL Media release to ABC Radio
National 11/11/2005
2006 Season in doubt.
With the announcement of the Federal Governments new laws on terrorism, and its
implications, two teams have automatically been banned from the league. The Bombers,
and the Dockers. The first due to the possibility of being a training facility, and the
second, as the possible handlers of banned agricultural chemicals used in the preparation
of explosives.
The Federal Minister for Health and Senior Health Department officials have observed
that the possible pandemic of Avian Influenza could decimate our population. To this end
the following teams have been sidelined for the season.
The Crows, the Eagles, the Hawkes, the Magpies, and the Swans.
Because of the fears that the Avian Influenza has the propensity to mutate to other species
of the animal kingdom, the following have also been warned of possible bans from
playing the 2006 season.
The Bulldogs, the Cats, the Kangaroos, the Lions, and the Tigers.
Lastly, the AFL’s rules on vilification would suggest that the Demons and the Saints
would by nature of their names, fall by the wayside as well.
The end result being that the Blues are almost
guaranteed to find a top position in the 2006 season if
all of the above takes place but they must get over the
Power, (if its not turned off) the only other side left to
play against.

3. But one evening, Jenny arrived home from work to find the children bathed, one load of
clothes in the washer and another in the dryer, dinner on the stove, and the table set.
She was astonished -- something's up. It turns out that Ralph had read an article that
said wives who worked full-time and
had to do their own housework were too tired to have sex. The night went well and the
next day, she told her office friends all about it.
quot;We had a great dinner. Ralph even cleaned up. He helped the kids do their homework,
folded all the laundry and put everything away. I really enjoyed the evening.quot; quot;But what
about afterward?quot; asked her friends. quot;Oh, that was perfect too. Ralph was too tired...quot;
Three men are sitting at a bar in Chinese Taipei and are discussing the presents they
had bought for their wives.
三個男人正在酒吧中討論他們買給自己老婆的禮物。
The first says: quot;I bought something which goes from 0 to 100 in 6 secondsquot;
第一個男人說：「我買了一個可以在六秒內從 0 到 100 的東西」
The other 2 guys don't know what he's talking about so he reveals quot;I bought her a nice
Porsche 911RSquot;
另兩個男人不知道他指的是什麼，所以他揭露答案：「我買給我老婆一 台相當不錯的 保時
捷」
The second guy says: quot;I bought something which goes from 0 to 100 in 4 seconds.
第二個男人也說：「我買了個可以在四秒內從 0 到 100 的東西。」
quot;That HAS to be a Ferrari - right? quot;
「那一定是法拉利，對吧？」
quot;Yeah that’s right! I bought my wife a nice red Ferrariquot;
答對了！我買給我老婆一台相當棒的紅色法拉利」
The third one says quot; I bought my wife something which goes from 0 to 100 in just 2
seconds
第三個男人開口說：「我買給我老婆一個在兩秒內從 0-100 的東西。」
quot;THAT CAN'T BE - The Ferrari is the fastest car in the world?!quot;
「不可能的！法拉利是世界上最快的車種了！」
quot;Well - it's not a car, but ..quot;
「恩...那不是一台車啦...那是.....」

Two engineering students crossing the campus when one said, quot;Where did you get such a
great bike?quot; The second engineer replied, quot;Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my
own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the
ground, took off all her clothes and said, quot;Take what you want.quot; The first engineer nodded
approvingly. quot;Good choice. The clothes probably wouldn't have fitted.quot;

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to
your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

A nurse walks into a room and sees a patient pretending he is driving a car, with his hands at
10 and 2. The nurse asks him, quot;Charlie what are you doing?quot; Charlie replies, quot;Can't talk right
now, I'm driving to Melbourne!quot; The nurse wishes him a good trip and leaves the room.
The next day the nurse enters Charlie's room just as he stops driving his imaginary car and
she asks, quot;Well Charlie how was your trip?quot; Charlie says, quot;I'm exhausted, I just got into
Melbourne and I need some rest.quot; quot;That's great,quot; replied the nurse, quot;I'm glad you had a
safe trip.quot;
The nurse leaves Charlies room, and then goes across the hall into another patients' room
and finds Ed sitting on his bed masturbating vigorously. Shocked, she shouts, quot;Ed what the
4

in Melbournequot;.

Baby Bear goes downstairs and sits in his small chair at the table, he looks into his small
bowl. It is empty... quot;Who's been eating my porridge?!!quot; he squeaks. Papa Bear arrives at the
big table and sits in his big chair. He looks into his big bowl, and it is also empty. quot;Who's
been eating my Porridge?!!quot; he roars.
Mama Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells, quot;How many
times do we have to go through this with you idiots? It was Mama Bear who got up first, it
was Mama Bear who woke everyone in the house, it was Mama Bear who made the coffee, it
was Mama Bear who unloaded the dishwasher from last night, and put everything away, it
was Mama Bear who went out in the cold early morning air to fetch the newspaper, it was
Mama Bear who set the table, it was Mama Bear who put the cat out, cleaned the litter box,
and filled the cat's water and food dish, and, now that you've decided to drag your sorry
bear-asres downstairs, and grace Mama Bear's kitchen with your grumpy presence, listen
good, cause I'm only going to say this one more time... I HAVEN'T MADE THE DAMN
PORRIDGE YET!!quot;

As Camilla was making last-minute preparations to walk down the aisle, she found that her
shoes were missing. She was forced to borrow her sister's, which were a bit on the small
side.
When the day's festivities were finally over, Charles and Camilla retired to their room,
right next door to the Queen's and Prince Phillip's. As soon as Charles and Camilla were
inside their room, Camilla flopped on the bed and said, quot;Darling, please get these shoes off.
My feet are killing me.
The ever-obedient Prince of Wales attacked the right shoe with vigour, but it was stuck
fast. quot;Harder!quot; Camilla yelled. quot;Harder!quot; quot;I'm trying, darling!quot;. The Prince yelled back. quot;It's
just so bloody tight!quot; quot;Come on! Give it all you've got!quot;
There was a big groan from the Prince, and then Camilla exclaimed, quot;There! That's it! Oh
that feels good! Oh that feels SOOO good!quot;
In the bedroom next door, the Queen turned to Prince Phillip and said, quot;See? I told you,
with a face like that she was still a virgin.quot;
Back in the bridal suite, Charles was trying to pry off the left shoe. Oh, my God, darling!
This one's even tighter!quot; exclaimed the heir to the throne. At which Prince Phillip turned to
the Queen and said, quot;That's my boy. Once a Navy man, always a Navy man!quot;

In Jerusalem, a female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been
going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time, so she went to
check it out.
She went to the Wailing Wall and there he was. She watched him pray, and after about 45
minutes when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.
quot;I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the wall and praying?quot;
quot;For about 60 years.quot; quot;60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?quot; quot;I pray for peace
between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray
for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship.quot;
quot;How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?quot; quot;Like I'm talking to a fuckin' wall.quot;

THE MODERN NOAH
In the year 2005 the Lord came to Noah, who was now living in Australia, and said, quot;Once
again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh
before me. You need to build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few
good humans. You have 6 months to build the Ark before I start the unending rain for 40
days and 40 nightsquot;.
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his Yard - but no Ark.
quot;Noah!quot; He roared, quot;I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark? quot;Forgive me, Lord,quot;
begged Noah, quot;but things have changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with
the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbours claim that I've violated
the neighbourhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height
limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision.
Then the Department of Transport demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of
moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's
move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they wouldn't listen.
Then I had problems getting the wood. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save
an endangered species, the spotted quoll. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I
needed the wood to save the quolls - but no go!
When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me for confining wild
animals against their will. They said it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a
confined space.
6

7. Then the local council ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an
environmental impact study on your proposed flood.
I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many
indigenous people I'm supposed to hire for my building crew.
The Immigration department is checking the status of most of the people who want to work
and I've even had a letter from Amanda Vanstone asking about my ethnic background!
The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers
with Ark-building experience.
To make matters worse, the Taxation department has seized all my assets, claiming I'm
trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species.
So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark.
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder and asked, quot;You mean you're not going to destroy the world?quot;
quot;No,quot; said the Lord. quot;The Government beat me to it.quot;
Two tramps were walking along the railroad tracks one day and one tramp said to the other,
quot;I'm the luckiest guy in the worldquot;. quot;Why is that?quot; said the other tramp.
quot;Well, I was walking down these tracks last week and I found a $50. I went into town and
bought a case of wine and was drunk for three days.quot;
The other tramp said, quot;That was pretty good, but I think I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
I was walking down these very tracks about two weeks ago, and just up ahead was a
gorgeous naked woman tied to the tracks. I untied her and took her up there in the trees
and I had sex with her for two days.quot;
quot;Jesusquot;, said the first tramp. quot;You are the luckiest guy; did you get a blow job, too?quot; quot;Wellquot;,
the other tramp said, quot;No, I never found her head.quot;
A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was
at work. One wet and lusty day she was in bed with her
boyfriend when,to her horror, she heard her husband's car pull
into the driveway.
quot;Oh my God - Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My husband's home early!quot;
quot;I can't jump out the window ~ It's raining out there!quot;
quot;If my husband catches us in here, he'll kill us both!quot; she replied. He's got a hot temper and a
gun, so the rain is the least of your problems!quot;
So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the window. As he ran down
the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he had run right into the middle of the town's
7

8. others, about 300 of them. Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to blend
in as best he could. After a little while a small group of runners who had been watching him with
some curiosity, jogged closer.
Do you always run in the nude?quot; one asked.
quot;Oh yes!quot; he replied, gasping in air. quot;It feels so wonderfully free!quot;
Another runner moved a long side. quot;Do you always run carrying your clothes with you under your
arm?quot;
“Oh, yesquot; our friend answered breathlessly. quot;That way I can get dressed right at the end of the run
and get in my car to go home!
Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and queried, quot;Do you always wear a condom when
you run?quot;
quot;Nope.........just when it's rainingquot;
Well that’s it, what more do you want at the end of a busy
week? Milk in you tea or something. Anyway just keep ‘em
coming, and then everybody can smile at least once for the
week.
