    An Army Recruit from the Australian outback sends a letter home:

    'Dear Mum & Dad,

    I am well. Hope you are too. Tell me, big brothers, Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin’ on the farm - tell them to get in quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don’t hafta get outta bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No cows to milk, no calves to feed, no feed to stack - nothin’!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there’s lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing!

    At brekky ya get cereal, fruit, and eggs but there’s no kangaroo steaks or possum stew like wot Mum makes. You don’t get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are dead because we’ve been on a ’route march’ - geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the back paddock!!



    This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin’ - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a possum’s bum and it don’t move and it’s not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka show last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target! You don’t even load your own cartridges, they come in little boxes, and ya don’t have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload!

    Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it’s not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster.
    May also interest you:

    Turns out I’m not a bad boxer either and it looks like I’m the best the platoon’s got, and I’ve only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers - he’s 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I’m only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin’ wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer.

    I can’t complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how good it is.

    Your loving daughter,

    Sheila.'

    the forest was shrinking,
    but the trees kept voting for the axe.

    for the axe was clever and convinced
    the trees that because his handle
    was wood, he was one of them.....

    I never have cared about post count . I post various random things I find interesting, thought provoking, funny, or related to the subject thread.

    or I post in my own threads if they do not fit anywhere else. seen newcomers post good stuff, as well as older members..

    seen some stupid stuff posted too

    I find that the more posts that you have,the more people believe EVERYTHING that you post.
    Members are always PM'ing me asking questions about life,love,money management,their horoscope,and cooking recipes.
    Frank told me his life is miserable. I'm thinking of becomeing a trainer (w/ tatt's). --- SAWMAN

    I've noticed that also.
    BASICALLY - -> the longer that you are a member of this forum . . . the less you know.
    All the younger and newer guys have all the info stashed in their basement closets or in the rear toolbox of their deisel pickups.
    Guess I'm just old and will never recover from that. I really don't know a damn thing nowadays. --- SAWMAN
