Only in Australia ...

[Barbara Braxton <barbara@DYNAMITE.COM.AU>]

This is a deadset true story ...it happened in Darwin on Thursday night.

Joe Blow shut his panel beating yard for the night, walked across to his house and 
got some sausages
and put them to cook on his barbecue.  Suddenly there was a huge bang and he turned 
round to see the
shed of the business destroyed.  Somehow, a dummy missile from an RAAF jet had come 
loose from the
undercarriage of the plane as it went thru its landing procedures, and it fell on 
Joe's shed and did
a huge amount of mischief to a Toyota Landcruiser and sundry other vehicles.

When he was interviewed by a TV news crew, Joe said, "If it had been ten feet 
closer, it would have
got me barbie and ruined me snags (sausages) and then I would really have been 
cranky!"

So for those of you coming here for the Olympics, don't get stressed if we don't 
get stressed over
things that stress you.  She'll be right, mate.  It will get sorted. The world will 
still turn and
the sun will still rise.

Cheers
Barbara
