[sooty]

It gets so hard to find new jokes and even harder to think them up so here is a story of when I managed to use an old joke in real life.

At the time of a federal election in Australia in the early seventies I was talking to a couple of friends and the conversation went like this (names changed)

Bill to Fred who lived in the country "Have you voted yet today?"

Fred "Yes, I voted in Rosebud. I'm a country member."

Me "Yeah, we remember"

I did explain to him that it was just a play on words and that he was a really nice guy.
