How To Speak Australian
And boy did it require a lot of Fosters
SYDNEY — A New Zealand man has been sentenced to community service after telling police he was raped by a wombat and the experience had made him speak "Australian".Arthur Ross Cradock, 48, from the South Island town of Motueka, called police on February 11 and told them he was being raped at his home by the wombat and he needed help, The Nelson Mail newspaper reported.
The orchard worker later called back and said: "Apart from speaking Australian now, I'm pretty all right, you know."
Cradock pleaded guilty in the local court to using a phone for a fictitious purpose. He was sentenced to 75 hours' community work.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Chris Stringer told the court alcohol played a large role in Cradock's life.
On a completely unrelated note, I have no idea where Ebola was during February.

That is one of the oddest spams I've seen recently.

Yeah, it was. We have been getting pounded today; I've deleted over 100.
And they've all been odd like that.

As you know, Ken, one's trigger gets pretty quick as one gets up in years...

Yeah, we've been hit pretty hard too. That one, though, I haven't seen on ours. But that odd word "she" used has been splattered all over google.

Oops. Meant to include the search. "Jane" has been a busy girl.
