This is a real letter in a major rural-centre newspaper, we have the torn out piece to prove it.
Come to think of it, it is time the government got the CSIRO to do some real work that benefits all of us, instead of spending their time genetically engineering gay chickens and inventing waterproof slippers.
John McCain may have done nothing to advance the cause of women in politics by choosing Sarah Palin as a running mate, but you can be sure that Hillary Clinton still has his back - we tell you why.

Watching most Olympic events (except walking), I think makes most people dream of potential athletic glory … If we could only get to the gym. None more so than gymnastics. There’s something about the incredible athleticism, flexibility, strength and … well, bounce of the contestants that makes you want to put down that bowl of pasta and half a loaf of bread and do some back flips.
Except for those utterly ridiculous arm flourishes they do on the floor and beam. I mean really, what? What? Does anyone think that it’s at all impressive or artistic…or even hard? Seriously guys and gals, after the super-human feats of flippity and bendiness and not breaking your neck; waving your arms around like a game show presentation model on steroids looks about as hard as falling down and hitting your head. Which is what would happen if the rest of us tried any of your routines… Except for the flourish arm waving bit. I mean even this guy could do that.
Do yourselves and your sport a favour and drop the “it’s a new car!” bit.
I believe banks are surreptitiously introducing intelligence testing in order to prevent stupid people spending money. Why else would ATM’s request that you enter the amount you want in dollars and cents, when all they can dispense is dollars. Even the dollars are limited to $20s, $50s and $100s.
You can’t very well ask for $10.50 for your train ticket home. Nor can you withdraw the last $14.75 from your account at 3am in a desperate bid to purchase sustenance for your long, long walk home because you didn’t have enough for a cab fare. So why do we have to spend valuable time and precious finger energy to punch those extra digits in?
With the homely scent of Raisin Toast in the air, Episode 8 is like a comfy pair of tracksuit pants on a cool evening….
Also ugly baby photos, train dating, Vladimir Putin, and and accidental ‘arseing’….
