We had to have the garage door repaired.
The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a half a horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'Nooo, it's not. Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used that repairman since. This happened in Ipswich, Queensland.

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, ‘Has anyone put anything in your luggage without your knowledge?’
To which I replied, ‘If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?’
He smiled knowingly and nodded, ‘That’s why we ask.’
This happened in Elizabeth S.A.

The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it’s safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an ‘intellectually challenged’ co-worker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the beeper was for.
I explained that it lets blind people know when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, ‘What on earth are blind people doing driving?’
She is a government employee in Adelaide P.O.

When my husband and I arrived at the garage to pick up our car after a service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
‘Hey,’ I announced to the mechanic, ‘it’s open!’
His reply, ‘I know. I already did that side.’STAY ALERT!
They walk among us… and they VOTE !!!
No, but the supermarkets have increased profits resulting from the sale of Glad plastic bin liner bags.
I acknowledge and pay my respects to the
British and European elders past and present,
who introduced civil society and prosperity to Australia.
