Thread: The world is ending says PM

I take it the necessary kit to take to a campfire chat with you fellows is a nulla. [ just to change the subject of the campfire convesation]. Bob

ps, for those who don't know

A Waddy, nulla nulla or hunting stick is an Aboriginal Australians - war club. The former name comes from the Dharuk Aborigines of Port Jackson -
A waddy is a heavy club constructed of carved timber. Waddies have been used in hand to hand combat, and were capable of splitting a shield, and killing or stunning prey. In addition to this they could be employed as a projectile as well as used to make fire and make Ochre - They found further use in punishing those who broke Aboriginal law.
They were made by both men and women and could be painted or left unpainted. Their construction varied from tribe to tribe, but they were generally about one metre in length and sometimes had a stone head attached with string. They were made from where a branch met the tree, or from a young tree pulled up with its roots from the ground.
Originally, the word waddy referred to a tree, or any piece of wood, as well as a verb meaning to 'beat up or kill with a club'.
It has also been spelled as wadi, wady, and waddie. The spelling stabilised around the mid-nineteenth century, partly to help distinguish it from the Arabic language - word Wadi - a dry water course.[ Perhaps mods could take note of the breaking law clause]

I thought this thread was about a joke, not politics.

Some people cannot help it and looking for a loophole in the forum rules

Some people seem to be humour-free zones when it comes to politics.

As mentioned elsewhere...

It is so frustrating to wade through all this rubbish to find the posts relevant to the thread....

Oh that's right .....THERE IS NONE!

Back on track, I thought the joke was quite funny. I'd have a beer with her round the campfire - I reckon she'd swear like a trooper....

Wagoo, you're an old sourpuss!

Here, a take on how the Yanks received the joke:

As I read it, I hoped that the National Post article was tongue in cheek. Although given the difficulty some Americans seem to have coping with the Australian sense of humour, it is hard to be sure.

Some of the people who posted comments after the article seem to be quite unaware of the existence of satire.

She had to be wooden for the joke to work. The fact so many people are taking it the wrong way just proves she did a good job being wooden. I reckon she'd be a hoot around a campfire.
And I'm not biased - I'd laugh at a Tony Abbott joke - if he ever said anything funny.
