Maybe if we all laughed more the world really would be a better place!
Let's all cease and desist from being cranky and lighten up. Everyone
seems to be getting so "twitchy" about content lately.
I will be posting a report about birds very soon i promise!
Cheers
Dave (still laughing from the joke)

Well it's a kind of joke but it's heavily laden with material
intended to discredit the green movement - the reference to
designer shorts for example - and following on from your vocal
disapproval of a greens supporter commiting the heinous crime of
using an American spelling on list - which happens to be closer to
etymological origins of the word than the badly transliterated
English spelling - comes across as a politcal attack. A token tawny
frogmouth hardly makes this suitable material for birding-aus.
Please cease and desist from posting this politcal, non-birding
material to the list.

I thought the joke below might make some of you smile. This is
from a
(non-birding, non-greenie) friend.
The head Greenie Tree Hugging Lady Activist, who was responsible
for getting
horses banned from National Parks & State Forests, was climbing a
big tree
to have a look out over the forestry when a Tawny Frogmouth
attacked her for
invading its nesting site.
In a panic to make her escape, she slid down the tree, getting many
splinters in the crotch of her designer shorts.
In considerable pain she rushed to the nearest doctor, told him
she was an
environmentalist and how she got all the splinters.
The doctor listened with great patience and then told her to go
into the
examining room and he would see if he could help her. She waited
for three
hours before the doctor reappeared.
The angry woman demanded: "What took you so long?"
He smiled and then told her: "Well, I had to get permits from the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Forestry Service, National
Parks and
Wildlife Service, Rural Fire Service, and Conservation and Land
Management
before I could remove old growth timber from a recreational
area..... And I
am sorry but they turned me down."
