Premier gets a wee taste of it

TO drink or not to drink. That is the multi-million-dollar question. For Steve Bracks, it has always been a firm: no way - it might be all right for Queenslanders but Victorians don't drink anything but the best, pure, unadulterated crystal-clear H20. And that's the way it's going to stay.

The Premier has gone out of his way to insist that the debate over drinking recycled sewage is not one that will be had in the southern capital for as long as he's running the place.

Nothing against the stuff, Mr Bracks says, we just don't need it in Victoria.

So imagine his well-hidden horror when morning radio bully Neil Mitchell unveiled a glass of the best in drinking water formerly known as effluent during a live interview yesterday.

"Yeah, look, I'm happy to taste it ... yeah, get a glass," Mr Bracks said to the 3AW host, who was armed with the "new water" brewed and bottled in Singapore.

Asked if he had a personal objection to drinking it, the no-fuss Premier was clear: "No, I don't. My position ... is we don't need it, it's not required, we have alternatives."

His argument comes down to water-hungry Victorian industry using more recycled water, not households. "Industry are big users of water. We can free up a large amount of water."

"OK," said Mitchell, glass in hand, "do you want a lot or a little?"

Mr Bracks: "I'll just taste it, that's all ... Yeah, I don't believe you can taste much difference, really, in water."

Transferring the Pain

A Husband and Wife go to the hospital to deliver their child.
The doctor meets them and tells them that he has a new system that will allow the father to take part or all of the mothers labor pains.
They both agree and the delivery begins.
The doctor turns the dial to 10%, so that the father will take 10% of the mothers pain.
The husband says he feels fine, so the doctor puts it up a notch.
The husband still feels fine, so the doctor puts it up to 30%.
The husband still feels fine, so it goes up to 50%.
The husband tells the doctor to go ahead and put it up to 100%.
The husband still feels fine and the child is delivered and the wife felt virtually no pain at all.
They both go back home with their child, where they find the mailman dead on their steps!!!

It's all in the knack.

At the Construction Site The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength.
He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen.
After several minutes, the older worker had had enough. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back."
"You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got."
The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles.
Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right. Get in."

The Stick did it!
A lady about seven months pregnant got on a bus.
She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.
This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing.
She complained to the driver and had the man arrested. The case came up in court.
The judge asked the man what he had to say for himself. The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this, When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition.
She sat under a sign that said, "The Double Mint Twins are coming" and I had to smile.
Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, "Slogan's Liniment will reduce the swelling" and I had to grin.
Then she placed herself under a sign that said, "William's Big Stick Did the Trick" and I could hardly control myself.
BUT....when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, "Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this accident" I laughed out loud. "Case Dismissed" said the Judge.

Do you have these

RANDOM THOUGHTS

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.
Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?
Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool.
A day without sun shine is like, you know, night.
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
