A lot of really strange things happen in the world, here are some to think about.....

Why do Maori gangs think it is cool to have Confederate flags around their houses and on their clothes? Shouldn't someone point out to them the Confederacy fought a war to keep coloured people in slavery?

Surely New Zealand has to be the only country in the world whose MP's included a transsexual, a dope smoking Rastafarian white dude and women leaders of both major parties at the same time?

Why are westies so stereotypical that if someone made them up, they’d be laughed at as being too silly to be possible? (Black shirts, black jeans, black cars, bleached blonde chicks)

Why do they all like "The Doors"?

Who buys Mills and Boon books? Who subscribes to Readers Digest? And more importantly, who bought Paul Holmes’ autobiography?

Why do most people who write signs for their businesses put an apostrophe in "Video’s" etc?

If 20% of the population suffers from some form of mental illness – according to whichever institute deals with these sort of bullshit statistics – then if your mother and father are sane, there is a better than even chance that you are nuts! Boris Karloff would have loved that.

Why are the poorest countries in the world the ones where the bloodiest wars are being fought? You live in Ethiopia, there has been a drought for 112 years. What is there to fight over?

How can God be a bloke, when if he is, he invented PMS?

How can Seventh Day Adventists seriously believe that heaven’s capacity is 147000?

Is OJ Simpson better off than if he had been convicted? At least he would have had some friends in jail.

How do Catholic Priests, who aren't even allowed to have sex with women, let alone get married, act as marriage counsellors and advisors?

How can people believe in alien abductions? An intelligence immense enough to have designed craft to fly through billions of kilometres to get here are not very likely to do so just for the fun of taking rectal thermometer readings from lunatics. Why do all alien abductions contain stories about anal probes? Is it that much fun?

Why do women wear long dresses with longer splits out in the wind, then spend all their time trying to hold them so no-one gets a crotch shot?

Who told brown and black skinned people that bleaching your hair is a cool thing to do?

How did they ever believe it?

Why can Chinese people pronounce a a name such as Tsieh, but can’t pronounce the letter R

When the TAB is running a meeting at Whakatane and they abbreviate it to Whak, does that mean we refer it as that would be pronounced? Try asking your next operator for a double with 6&9 at Whak.

Has Georgina Beyer had the full sex change, and if not, which bog does he/she use?
