I often salute my mates with an "up your bum" when we have a beer , but this puts a totally different slant on it.......
C'mon guys get real. There is only 1 beer and that's NT Draught in a Darwin Stubby, what ya don't drink you can use as drain cleaner, radiator flush, rust remover, and it even cleans ya pipes, that's why they give it to you in such a big stubby and why real Territorians never need the services of the Colon Irrigation Centre.
Hence my shock at seeing the sign for the clinic.

An old guy goes to his doctor
for his
physical and gets sent to the
Urologist
as a precaution.
When he gets there, he
discovers the
Urologist is a very pretty
female doctor.
The female doctor says,"I'm
going to check your
Prostate today, but this new
procedure is a little
Different from what you are
probably used to.
I want you to lie on your right
side,
Bend your knees, then while I
check your
Prostate, take a deep breath
and say,
'99'.
The old guy obeys and says,
"99".
The doctor says, "Great", now
turn over on
Your left side and again, while
I repeat the check, take a deep
breath and say,
'99".
Again, the old guy says,
'99'."
The doctor said, “Very good”.
Now then, I want you to lie on
your back with
Your knees raised slightly.
I'm going to check your
prostate with this hand,
And with the other hand I'm
going to hold on to
Your penis to keep it out of the
way.
Now take a deep breath and
say,
'99'.
The old guy begins,
"One....
two…
Three…"

I got mine about then when my parents went up there via Alice Springs,as dad was part of "DOMF" building the road from Alice to Darwin in 1941/42 and he took mum to see where they worked and camped,so they brought back 6 "stubbies" for family and friends,still got mine in a draw in the wardrobe![]()
Just to steal the thread a bit Ean, do you remember when the Darwin Stubby came back online after Cyclone Tracy?
I was taken up to Darwin early in 1975 specifically to get the NT Brewery in production again.
If you have seen the reece plumbing nightmare thread, it is better than the plumbing and pipework I did to get that brewery going again.
Once we got the beer brewing it was all manually racked (that's kegs filled).
After the draught was successfully flowing I was asked by the brewer, John Moffat, could we somehow get Darwin Stubbies going again as a moral booster to Darwinites who were still involved in the massive cleanup.
so, we set about making a manually operated filler with 3 spears as I recall, spring loaded into the bottle neck with a hand valve to flow the beer in and a foot lever to release everything.
I'm not sure how many bottles we exploded and saturated ourselves in beer until we got it right.
It was all done in the cold room so the guys couldn't stay in there too long and had to do changeovers.
It took several minutes to set up and fill 3 stubbies and cap them, so production was a bit slow.
I think the first days full production was about 24 stubbies which were dutifully delivered about 2 stubbies to each pub by our then most likeable big Moari delivery driver . Some may remember him.
From then on each pub got at least a crate of 4 each delivery.
Over the next 6 months the brewery was basically rebuilt but I don't think it ever became automated.
BTW if anyone can recall that period and thought the beer was good....it was....John Moffat was a much awarded brewer and won a number of awards for his brews in competitions and we had much delight in drinking some of his specials at the brewery's bar at lunchtime and after work.
