The New Boyfriend.​

A teenager brings her new boyfriend home to meet her parents.
They’re appalled by his haircut, his tattoos, his piercings.
Later, the girl’s mum says, “Dear, he doesn’t seem to be a very nice boy.”
“Oh, please, Mum!” says the daughter.
“If he wasn’t nice, would he be doing 500 hours of community service?”

Yep, it is easy to spot a hard-arse, lowlife with no regard for people or property walking down the street with an adorable. Over the years I have been surprised when meeting someone, that has little or no people skills, absolutely disrespect their beautiful partners, who faun all over them.

Instance: I got a lift to Cottesloe, a W.A beach once by a guy I knew back then, who was a television executive. He had a Ford Shelby with a television built into the dashboard. We got out and started walking up the sand hills to the beach. I turned and saw his totally adorable girlfriend, struggling with the umbrella, esky and blanket while trying to hold her beach hat and two big beach towels.

I started walking towards her and had my arm grabbed. Don't he said, "it's good for her!" I failed the low life test by going down and assisting her, thereby proving to this guy that I was not the sort of man he feels to associate with. I didn't feel like hanging around with him either.

It's extremely common for women to ignore their close male friends as suitors and instead choose to be with people who quite obviously have no interest in them, long-term.. Such is life..

Amusing? Not really!

What's a Mom?

What's a Mom?

American slang for Mum

American slang for Mum

I know that; I was facetiously alluding to importing US jokes and failing to edit them to suit the Australian vernacular. The worst one was a recent joke about a person's backside; why on earth do the Yanks call it a donkey; ie: an ass?

As most things American always seem to be political when it's a slur, I always figured it was a Republican Elephant voter calling a Democrat voter a Donkey....

I surmise that when the US broke away from Mother England, a committee was formed to "show them we're different" by spelling words differently and replacing words with others; hence Mom instead of Mum, tire instead of tyre, a bodily function instead of a full stop; but worst of all was changing the universal date sequence DD/MM/YYYY to the illogical MM/DD/YYYY
