The Great ContrOversy

By: Al McCartan

Many moons ago, when I first adopted radio as a paying hobby, I was fazed by those invisible but ever present “Pronunciation Police” – or PP – unseen beings that would pounce on one for mispronouncing anything from Mozart to Mareeba.

Oh yes, I’ve been caught many a time. Once I mentioned a WA resort as Monkey Meeah (as in Ms Farrow). An irate Sandgroper corrected me and said it was Monkey Mya (As in Myer)

Fun Ideas For The Holidays

By:John Kinde

The holiday season is a great time to share some smiles and laughs! And holiday humor helps you develop a well-tuned humor radar.

1. Have a humorous gift exchange at your holiday party. This works great if you have a healthy humor climate where people use humor in a positive way.

2. Just before the holidays, encourage people to bring some of their favorite ethnic holiday treats to work or one of your group meetings. Coming from a Norwegian background, I’d bring rosettes, fatigmand and lefse.

3. Decorate a tree for the holidays with a humorous flair. For example, a car dealership could decorate a tree using car parts. If you travel a lot, collect fun trinkets from your trips to brighten your tree.

4. Save the holiday cards you receive this year and “recycle” them next year. Just cross out the sender’s signature, sign your name, and mail it back to the person who gave it to you. You’ll start a humorous tradition. I do not recommend sharing this humorous exchange with everyone you get a card from. Be selective!

The Bum’s Jacket

By: Slyvester Dudetown

I saw the dirty old jacket lying on the floor of the train and I knew I had to act fast. Time was a factor, and decisive action needed to be taken.

The Eastbound LRT was stopped at a station. I was standing in the area near the door when I saw a bum’s jacket drop to the floor unbeknownst to him, then he made his way towards the exit.

Now I don’t use the word bum here to be derogatory in any sense. I simply mean to say that he was a homeless man. I could tell by his limping gait, slumpy posture, tattered clothes, and the faint odour that trailed behind him. He was short, middle-aged, and had a scruffy beard.
