LIBERTARIANZ SUS: Some Tuesday funnies

Your regular Tuesday columnist Susan Ryder is away from her computer this week enjoying herself shamelessly – but she hasn’t forgotten you completely, campers.  Here’s a few funnies she sent through for your amusement.

* * * * *

    The NSW Government and the NSW Greens were presenting to the NSW farmers a proposal for controlling the dingo population.
    It seemed that after years of the farmers using the tried and true methods of shooting and/or trapping the predators, the tree-huggers had come up with a more ‘humane’ solution.  They proposed that the animals be captured alive.  The males would then be castrated and let loose again; therefore the population would be controlled.
    This was actually proposed at a meeting of the NSW Farmers and Graziers Association by the NSW Government and the NSW Greens.   The NSWFGA members thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes.  Finally, one of the old boys in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said:
    “Son, I don't think you understand our problem.  Those dingos ain't shaggin' our sheep.  They're eatin' 'em!”

  • Real Women can work a manual gear change
  • Real Women don't major in sociology
