Wait . . . do you mean that he was in his 60s, or that the aboriginal man was in his 60s?

@Ionus,
Wiki: In 1967, while a publican in Carnarvon, he was convicted of assault after striking an Aboriginal man with a length of steel cable.[1] It was alleged that the man was being pinned to the ground at the time.[2] He has had the nickname "Ironbar" ever since.

@Setanta,
I was thinking this thread turned terminally solemn rather quickly. Neutral
Quote:
A Koala bear walks into a bar, sits down and orders a sandwich.

The Koala eats the sandwich, gets up, spins around, pulls a pistol out of his pouch, shoots the piano player, and proceeds to walk out of the bar.

The bartender, in shock, shouts to the Koala, "Hey, who do you think you are, you ate my sandwich and shot my piano player, and just where do you think you're going!?"

The Koala replies, "Hey, I'm a Koala. Look it up."

The frustrated bartender pulls out a dictionary from behind the bar and looks up Koala:

The dictionary said "n. a marsupial that eats shoots and leaves."

@Ceili,
Whoa!!

I thought he was called that because the Libs used him as their hitman in Parliament, and in media grabs outside of it...he said the things they wanted to say, but they could pretend they disapproved and that they considered him a maverick.

That's a nasty story indeed.

@tsarstepan,
In Australia, that joke becomes:

Why is the Australian man like a koala?

Because he eats, roots, shoots and leaves.


To be fair, that should likely be more like:

Why is the Australian ocker like a koala?

TMI!!! TMI!!!!



Now, everyone knows this old chestnut, right?


The fella whose car runs out of petrol in the desert...he waits...drinks all his water....finally sets out to walk.

When he is at his last gasp, he sees what he thinks is a mirage...a town up ahead...gasping, he staggers onwards....(you make this go on forever),,,finally comes to a sign saying....."Town of Mertze...sample our famous teas."

Staggers to the cafe, welcomed, sat down given water.

Resident says "Now, what you need to set you up is a cup of our famous Koala Tea...it works miracles...you'll feel fine in no time."

Man orders koala tea...teapot arrives....he lets it steep...then pours expectantly.

To his horror, out comes his tea, horribly mixed with bits of koala, and koala fur....and little koala toenails...


But, everyone has been so kind, he feel he cannot insult them, so he pours the tea back into the pot, saying it needs to steep a little more.

Surrounded by kindly townsfolk, who cannot wait to see him try their tea, he calls for a tea strainer...

The looks around him change to dazed shock.

People stand rooted to the spot...some look angry.

The cafe proprietor approaches and says passionately:

"Sir! The Koala Tea of Mertze is not strained!!!!"

@dlowan,
Immediately after reading your punchline, I started thinking to myself ... why does that sound so oddly familiar. I know I never heard that joke before! Sounds like a lyric I think I should already know ... then I had epiphany... a Dead Man Walking soundtrack based epiphany.

Very clever dlowan! Quite clever indeed!

@tsarstepan,
I didn't create the joke...I just tell it.


And....I can make it go on and on and on.....


Devilish laughter.
