It's Scientific: Terrific

Let’s see now, the budget is down with our boy Rodd taking a swipe at inflation, that’s gott’a be a good thing with Portuguese tarts up to $2.20 making my budget hard to balance to say nothing of the added complication with the maths. I hope some of you have been able to feel the bite in this one, not because I like seeing you taxed, but because I like the idea of knowing someone on over $150.000 PA especially a relative. I recon Ridd’s got it right this time. There’s not much in it for me of course unless I start producing children with my obviously excellent sperm and some girls from, let’s see, Walgett? Mmm that could turn into a nice little earner but how hard do I want to work? No I think I’ll be OK with the tax rebate though if I was Radd I would have given the rebates in reverse proportion to the tax paid. You know, the poorest would receive the richest’s rebates and the rich the poorest’s. That would have been really Rudden Hoodish don’t you think though I guess the thought of Jamie Packer who no doubt inherited his dad’s accountant, getting the biggest rebate in Australia puts a bit of a damper on it.

What else? Lot of people are spooked at how all these Chinese disasters add up to eight eh. Who can believe such superstitious waffle when nanno scientists are inventing self repairing paint for automobiles? Oh I can easily see some fool finding the Porshe he keyed last night with a perfect gloss this morning declaring it a miracle, lighting half a dozen candles and dedicating the rest of his life to work with lepers. Its just science though and in the near future scientists will show us conclusively how the figure eight, once the symbol for infinity, stood upright as we did in evolutionary history and has the same double helix DNA as the everyday disaster.

Oh that reminds me, if those scientists who can sometimes be pretty tardy with all their cross checking and peer supervision, don’t finish the molecular memory anti gravity suit before I die, just you remember that it was I who did the hard yards in coming up with the concept. Any scientist with a few billion dollar grant could join the dots. No amount of money can create the vision of genius. If they want to name it after me, something like Bob’s AG Suit now available in herringbone and pin stripe, you have my proxy but no marketing hype that suggests any form of superstition such as miracle OK.

I’m going to the engagement party of Bob O’Keefe’s daughter at the Bardwell Park Golf Club next Saturday night. I must call John for some ancestral revision in case I’m asked any tricky questions. Doesn’t seem to matter how often I hear them those straggly lines of relationship always seem to end up getting knotted in my brain. Who knows I may wind up talking to great grand pappy’s twin’s descendant. Bob is the husband of my mate John Nancarro’s sister. John is our shared computer geek and often forwards emails from Bob O’Keefe at the RTA who obviously has little else to do at work than scour cyberspace for humorous diversions. Yes a potential relative in the RTA, at least as exciting as the afore mentioned rich one and possibly a combination of the two.
