The United States has more bagpipe bands than Scotland

And more Porsches than Germany :)

Ferrari sells more cars in America then in Italy too!!

And yes I think I see all 4 in the picture! 1 animal in the tree to the right of the 'mail' kangaroo sitting on the lower branch, then another kangaroo between the 2 trees hiding in the woods, then to the right of the 2nd big tree looking away from the picture. If the last one is not it then there are two hiding in the woods, I am not quite sure if the 'eye' is the head of a kangaroo or not, but it could be.

AND there are more Jewish people in New York and the surrounding area then in all of Israel. America is a melting pot of people, and almost everyone seems to like it enough to come and stay.

A policeman in Ontario pulls

A policeman in Ontario pulls over a Newfie for speeding, and while he’s writing out the ticket a fly was bothering the Cop, so the Newfie says, "Dat’s a circle fly, sir."
The policeman asks, "what’s a circle fly?"
Newfie replies, "dem are da flies you find in da barn, circlin' around a 'orses ass."
The policeman asks, "are you calling me a horses ass?"
"Oh no, sir . . . I would never say a t'ing like dat . . . but you can't fool dem flies, sir."

Well done Mikey, you have

Well done Mikey, you have spotted what our postal service employees do very well : watch each other to see who will move first.

[ Ooops, how offensive. Sorry. Some of my best friends are kangaroos. ]

Cheers, Mike.

( edit ) Actually Australia Post does has a world beating service that no one else has matched to my knowledge. They will lose your package before you give it to them.

( edit ) Their slogan is "Australia Post : for when it absolutely, positively doesn't matter!"

( edit ) Why the animosity to Australia Post, Mike? You may well ask ....

I was once severely berated by a Clerk of The Court for trying to fulfill a document subpoena by sending it in through AP. That was not considered a sufficient effort to execute the conditions of the subpoena ie. I ought have known that was unreliable. And I must admit he was quite right ....

I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

Ohhhh, the shame of it all. Our "thread's founder" violated one of his own rules - a back-to-back post.

Yeah .... but it was worth it ! :-)

Sadly I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity to use those lines in real life. With all these automated speed cameras abounding, that personal touch has been lost I feel.

Cheers, Mike.
