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!”
