The reeference here was to the pollyticle person who has expounded
several theories; and also to the art of switching parties (jumping) when
the brown coloured sobstance contacts the blades of a rotating breeze
generator.
However, the reference to sheep as per one sports commentator's comment
on one of the footy teams in the Super 12 series, is not repeatable, and
ended with his dismissal, apparently.
I'm sure that a bit of stealing of something of West Island's jokes may
be permitted, as they have laid claim to many of our icons (good and bad),
like Pavlova, Phar Lap, & even Russell Crowe (that is not a worry, in view
if his behaviour sometimes) etc., over the years.
Un42n8ly, ny somewhat wonky sense of humour is less appreciated when the
original intention of the joke was misunderstood, because of lack of
intimacy with information that gave rise to the original quote.
W.E.O.T.S. strikes again!!! (Wrong End Of The Stick)
Ahhh, well, we can only but try...
