My good deed
Permalink  

While strolling round the harbour this morning about 7am., I noticed a character shouting "Allah be praised" and "Death to all infidels" and suddenly he tripped and fell into the water.

He was struggling to stay afloat because of all the explosives he was carrying.  If he didn't get help he would surely drown.

Being a responsible citizen, and abiding by the law of the land that requires you to help those in distress, I informed the Police, the Coast Guard, the Immigration Office and even the Fire Department.

It is now 11 a.m., the terrorist has drowned, and the authorities have not yet responded. I'm starting to think I wasted four stamps.

Gday...

ya gotta love jokes. They keep going round and round and round

I first heard that one when I was about 20 ... it was about pommies then.

It also had a round about pollies. About 10 years ago it was about lawyers.

I even saw an American one about Mexicans.

Now it is made topical by simply updating the nationality.

Sort of like the old joke -

How do you stop a pommie from drowning .............................. shoot him !

Which also got changed to lawyers too I think.

Cheers - John
