Issue No 52 - Wednesday 11 November

EDITORIAL 

Premier Dan has said his bit and we can now visit loved ones outside metro Melbourne. The low daily numbers gives us optimism that Christmas may be close to normal. Let’s hope that Santa is not subject to any restrictions. 

Our caravan is about to get dusted off. However, the Silly has a few issues to go – at the moment.

Let’s also take a moment to think about people overseas who in most cases are really struggling.

GARLIC

On Tuesday 10th November we travelled outside the former “ring of steel” and saw Amanda’s garlic crop first hand. We were amazed at the density and height of the crop. The following gives an example of what we saw.  Can you see the 1.25 litre Coke bottle?

SENIOR CITIZENS LAMENT

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not try to blame others.

HOWEVER,   upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT senior citizens who took:

The melody out of music,

The pride out of appearance,

The courtesy out of driving,

The romance out of love,

The commitment out of marriage,

The responsibility       out of parenthood, 

The togetherness out of the family,

The learning out of education

The Golden Rule from rulers,

The nativity scene out of cities,

The civility out of behavior,

The     refinement       out of language, 

The dedication out of employment,

The prudence out of spending,

The ambition out of achievement or

God out of government and school.

And we certainly are  NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from Personal relationships and interactions with others!

And, we DO understand the meaning of Patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country. 

YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!  

I'm the life of the party.....Even if it lasts until 8 p.m. 

I'm very good at opening childproof caps.... with a hammer. 

I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.

I'm smiling all the time, because I can't hear a thing you're saying.

I'm sure everything I can't find is In a safe secure place, somewhere.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life! Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back to them. 

Or, maybe I should send it to all my friends anyway. They won't remember, even if they did send it.

Let's be happy - while we're here.  



FOR THE DEEP THINKERS

In the video below, are the balls moving in a straight line, or rotating?

DILLS AND DILL- BERRIES

"Dill" is Australian for Idiot. 

You can't make this stuff up.

1- DILLBERRY SIGHTINGS AND DILL DETECTIONS: We went through to the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the attendant a $5 note. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.  She said, 'you gave me too much money.  I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin back. She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don't do that kind of thing.  The attendant then gave me back 75 cents in change.   Do not confuse the people at McDonald's.

2- DILLBERRY:  We had to have the garage door repaired. The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a half a horsepower. He shook his head and said, You need a 1/4 horsepower. I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'Nooo, it'snot. Four is larger than two.   We haven't used that repairman since. This happened in Ipswich, Queensland.

3- DILL: I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the local council office to request the removal of the WOMBAT CROSSING sign on our road. The reason:  Too many wombats are being hit by cars out here!

I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.   Story from Collingwood, Melbourne.

4- DILL: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,  Has anyone put anything in your luggage without your knowledge?  To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know? He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.   This happened in Elizabeth S.A.

 5- DILLBERRY:  The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street.  I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of mine. She asked if I knew what the beeper was for. I explained that it lets blind people know when the light is red. Appalled,  she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?    She is a government employee in Adelaide P.O.

6- DILL:  When my husband and I arrived at the garage to pick up our car after a service, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. Hey, I announced to the mechanic, 'it's open! His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.

STAY ALERT! They walk among us...and breed!
