'' You don't know what you're missing'' You may eat your caviar and your fillet mignon too, And wear a serviette in case you spill the stew, But you don't know what you're missing till you've eaten Kangaroo, Cooked up with a damper and a nice hot cup of brew. You may eat your calamari battered and deep-fri...

I was setting up a large, cast aluminum, decorative sundial in my yard that I had purchased from a garden catalog. A neighbor, an old fellow, was leaning on the fence watching my progress and asked, "What the hell's that for?" I explained, "It's a sundial. See, the sun will hit that s...
