Hi Pen,
I wonder what made me think of these.
I did go over and see Blue. He was chortling over a conversation Sheila had. Sheila is helping a girlfriend by working in her antique shop. As an aside, I am sure you know that the southern Highlands is known for its many antique shops.
Anyway, a woman named Claire, after retiring from a busy life in business, apparently travels around the country visiting antique shops trying to find bargains.
One day, she went into Sheila’s antique shop in Bowral. Claire said to Sheila "When I was in here last week, I saw a big mug with a flat head that holds a lot of beer. I'd like to buy it."
"Sorry," replied Sheila, "but I can't possibly sell you that."
"Oh, what a pity, but why not?" inquired Claire.
"Because," said Sheila, "that's my husband."
Blue also told me about his mate Bookham, who is a cop.
Bookham recently stopped a woman for speeding. He asked the driver her name.
She said, "I'm Mrs. Ladislav Abdulkhashim Zybkcicraznovskaya from the Republic of Uzbekistan and I am travelling from Sydney to visiting my daughter in Mamungkukumpurangkuntjunya Hill
* in South Australia.
Bookham put away his summons book and pen, and said, "Well... OK... but don't let me catch you speeding again."
* For those interested in trivia, the longest official place name in Australia contains a Pitjantjatjara word,
Mamungkukumpurangkuntjunya Hill in South Australia, which means "where a devil urinates".
The puzzle is a book by Clive James 7 7 7.
The bonus point is to pronounce Mamungkukumpurangkuntjunya. you don't have to produce proof
I’ll say bye bye because
