No credit for Kash
“I wonder if new FBI director Kash Patel (C8) has emailed Elon Musk with the five corners of the planet he hunted in the last week?” ponders Mark Stewart of Elizabeth Bay. “The FBI’s remit is purely domestic, including violations of civil rights. Foreign intelligence and conducting covert actions ‘overseas’ are the remit of the CIA. I note their website refrains from flat earth statements. Intelligent lot indeed!”
“Just noticed that the American president’s father’s name was Frederick Christ Trump,” says Don Bain of Port Macquarie. “Explains a lot, come to think of it.”
Dick Pollitt of Mosman is “pleased to let Tony Krahe and Viv Mackenzie know that the indecisive candidate (C8) did get the job, despite answering a question on his age, (a no-no these days), with ‘Late 30s early 40s.’ He became a very valuable member of the team.”
“If Memoir of a Snail (C8) wins an Oscar, it will bring this production into the slimelight,” opines Warren Finnan of West Ryde.
George Manojlovic of Mangerton would like to remind that “the inflation rate in Germany (C8) was high before, during and after World War I. Remember, they designed and manufactured Zeppelins.”
After agreeing that a tomato sandwich made by someone else is always superior to the one you make yourself (C8), Judith Allison of Bexley takes the theory further: “My workmates and I think that a few hot chips offered by someone else are more delicious than if we’d bought them ourselves.”
This could be a rags-to-riches tale: “Print me and I leave this mortal coil knowing I made a C8 hat-trick,” implores Tony Bennett of Broke.
Greg Chapman of Springwood writes: “Near the exit of the botanic gardens I spotted a plant label reading Peperomia obtusifolia subtitled ‘Albo marginata’. The common name is pepper face plant. Polls may indicate it is endangered, but there was no sign of Pometete duttonensis – presumably a member of the nightshade family. Are there other examples of botanical nominism?”
“The Commonwealth Bank is taking a hammering on the ASX,” declares Bob Phillips of Cabarita. “At a wake on Monday, I heard a story about a guy who, some time ago, was high up at said bank. When asked whether a crisis they were having might become front page news, he said, ‘I’m not worried about that. It’s only when it gets into Column 8, that I start to worry’.”
