Ain't Aussie folks grand, the droughts broke.!

[Woomera]

Listening to ABC "Drive time" this evening where a cuppla "true blues" were being interviewed about the breaking of the drought in SE Oz.

Nearly fell outa the car laughing at some of the superbly laconic dead set Aussie dry, drought jokes.

"There are some eight year old frogs up here having their first swim"

"I can stop pinning the stamps to the envelopes, now that I dont have to save water"

and so on.

To celebrate, who's got any others?

[Chimbu chuckles]

On one news broadcast this evening a laconic chap in some wayoutback town quipped..."Yeaahup..last time we had rain out 'ere a big boat full of all sorts of animals floated down tha street".

He, as well as the TV crew all then broke up hopelessly.

Rock on Oz!!!

Chuck.

I liked this one-

" Yeh, it's that bloody dry out ere, they closed two lanes of the local swimming pool"

It's been so dry here my dog went to drop a little nugget the other day, it went white, disintergrated and blew away before it even hit the ground......

My Mum was telling me a couple of weeks ago (when I was down for a visit), that there are 8 year old kids who have NEVER seen rain!!

Guess the breaking of the drought means some of the younger fish'll have to learn how to hold their breath under water.

Bloody good news.

Next door neighbour, about a Km away, "well, it's one day closer to the next drought".
Good feeling though, even the leader of the opposition is in good humour.

Yup, we ozzies sure are grand. we got rain here the other day and a whole bunch of the locals got a shower, needed or not. a bunch of em were running around the joint shouting about the sky falling and all that.

Yeah ... Ol' Mavis's boy, he's about eight you know, was out in the back yard when it started to rain.

Poor little tyke hadn't seen rain before, ya know, and fainted clean away!

Had to throw a bucket of dust on 'im to bring 'im 'round.

It's been so dry out here in western Queensland that trees have been fighting over the dogs!

"We'll all be rooned" said Hanrahan, "If this rain doesn't stop."

Although these were far more pertinent about 2 weeks ago, I thought some of them were crackers.
Thanks to OzEx for sending these to me a while back ...
