    To be totally honest with you @Shoshin, I would swap a Melbourne summer for an Auckland summer any day of the week!

    Not winter, but I'm not sure the above is. The following made me laugh. No offence meant to anyone!

    Bill Clinton at a posh dinner, seated next to a very dignified elderly lady. Says to her "would you like a quickie?".
    Lady utterly horrified. "I've never been so offended in my life". Rises and departs in high dudgeon.
    Aide leans over Clinton's shoulder. "Mr President, sir ... I think it's pronounced 'quiche'".

    it's just another one of those derned things that children say.

    My niece very much likes seltzer water, or as she calls it, "sparkly water." But she pronounces it "farkeny water." Her first grade teacher asked her what she would like to drink. She said that she wanted some farkeny water. Her teacher was taken aback, and asked her to repeat what she had just said.

    Indignantly, my niece kept insisting, "I saaaaaid, I want some farkeny water!"

    She was sent to the principal's office.

    I think you need an American accent to appreciate its profound subtlety

    A man is drowning in the river

    and a canoe passes

    "give me your hand!"

    no no my friend, my lord will save me

    "suit yourself"


    ...still drowning

    another boat with oarsmen rows by

    "man overboard! grab this life preserver!"

    no no friends, my lord will save me


    ...still drowning

    a third boat comes by, several ropes thrown toward the man

    "grab hold!"

    no, friends! my lord will save me!


    later, at the heavenly gates:

    "lord why didn't you save me!"

    I sent you three rescue boats! what more did you want?!

    There is this very pious Jew named Goldberg who always dreamed of winning the lottery. Every Sabbath, he’d go to synagogue and pray: “God, I have been such a pious Jew all my life. What would be so bad if I won the lottery?”
    But the lottery would come and Goldberg wouldn’t win. Week after week, Goldberg would pray to win the lottery, but the lottery would come and Goldberg wouldn’t win.
    Finally, one Sabbath, Goldberg wails to the heavens and says: “God, I have been so pious for so long, what do I have to do to win the lottery?”
    And the heavens parted and the voice of God came down: “Goldberg, give me a chance! Buy a ticket!”

    Had one of these moments on Monday with a -35F windchill (which is typical for us, but it's a bit early in the winter for it). My 6 year old looked at me while he waited outside for his school bus and said "Mom, I just cannot deal with this." Indeed. Only 6 more months until summer.

    Why did the orange take a prune to the Christmas party?

    I don't know, why did the orange take a prune to the Christmas party?

    ...

    Because it couldn't find a date.

    @Jeffrey‌ has created a thread on the meaning of Will.
    I think nasty will can be interpreted as malice, resentment and hostility. I think he seeks the meaning of beneficial will, the type one uses to do kind things. I think it's what they call 'Good Will Hunting'....

    A bird was flying south for Winter, but he had left it too late and was frozen solid in a storm. He dropped down into a pasture of cows. The biggest, fattest cow was doing a crap there, and the bird landed in it.

    At first he was disgusted, until he realised the poo was thawing him out! He started crying out for joy as the ice melted. A cat that was nearby heard the cries, walked over, saw the bird and ate it

    There are three morals to this story:

    1. Not everyone who gets you into s#!t is your enemy

    2. Not everyone who gets you out of s#!t is your friend

    3. If you are in s#!t, keep your mouth shut

    A Jewish guy goes into a confession box. "Father O’Malley," he says, "my name is Emil Cohen. I’m seventy-eight years old. Believe it or not, I’m currently involved with a 28-year-old girl, and also, on the side, with her 19-year-old sister. We engage in all manner of pleasure, and in all my life I’ve never felt better."
    "My good man," says the priest, "I think you’ve come to the wrong place. Why have you come to me to relate this matter?"
    "Why, I’m telling everybody!"

    Here's another:

    The disciple approaches the master and says, "Master, what is fate?"

    The master replies, "It is that which gives a beast of burden its purpose in life. It is that which causes a man to travel a great distance, and in turn, a road to spring up underneath his feet, and in turn, an inn to spring up alongside that road, to stave off hunger, weariness, and thirst."

    The disciple asks, "That is fate, Master?"

    "Fate? I thought you said freight."

  • I told my Russian in laws that Santa doesn't get pulled along by reindeer in Australia, but by kangaroos. Santa also takes his coat off, and we leave him beer instead of milk on Christmas Eve.

    Cracks them up. My wife still finds it hilarious. It's her first Christmas in Australia this year.
