Brian was just trying to escape the attention of the authorities after him on another thread of the garment..... was hiding amongst the other guys...
"and a friend shall lose his friend's hammer...."
"Has he got a secret?"
"Follow the fishing rod."
"Follow the cape"
.... Spike raves on.... and the blind (who follow the blind) fall into the pit.....
"Look, you're all individuals... DYOR"
"I'm not... I may be an apathetic, lazy Australian a bit, but I'm one of the good guys.."
"Yes we are.... our priorities are well ordered, just that we aren't... blame it on the climate over here, I could just go and take it easy and sit under this tree over here, but some irresponsible red-necked type cut it down."
"Why don't you plant another one?"
"It's not my job.. THEY should do something about it... plus big Kev told me there could be demarcation dispute issues."
"RIGHT.... down tree planting tools, let's take this to the time wasting bureaucrats and the VERY expensive courts to get some resolution."
"But won't you waste time and resources that way?"
"It's the Ozzie way, keep your nose out of our business."
"Look, sometimes you can't see the forest for the (lack of) trees.... the mountain is clearer from the plain.... sometimes you have to be an outsider like one returning from afar who notices how things have changed... the frog in warming water doesn't realize... in fact, he may already be dead from toxins absorbed through his thin skin... you know, those sensitive types.... anyway, where was I? I think I'm digressing"
"I think you were about to say something"
("Has he got a secret?")
"Nah, catch you later.... hopefully before midnight"
