Monday Edition
Goooooood Morning to all of our lovely members! And Happy Monday! We hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to tackle the week ahead. We know that Mondays can be a bit bland, so we like to start our Mondays with a little bit of fun in the form of a riddle! Today's riddle is...
A man is condemned to death.
He has three rooms to choose from, to accept his punishment.
The first room has a firing squad, with loaded guns.
The second room has a blazing fire.
The third room is full of tigers that haven't eaten for six months.
Which room did he choose?
This one is a bit of a doozy! So don’t get mad at us when we reveal the answer tomorrow 😉 But let’s be honest, we know you lot are up for the challenge. If you think you know the answer to the riddle, post it on our forum here and if you get the answer correct, we will give you a shout out in tomorrow's newsletter. We cannot wait to see how many of you manage to get this one correct!
Now, let's get stuck into some news shall we? What's happening around the world and across Australia today?
-

I hope I wasn’t the only kid who used to sit on the back of their dad’s ute tray!

Now, now, now, we know safety in our cars today is the number one priority at all times, however we couldn’t help but laugh at this photo that was posted in our forum by member @Goodbloke. Who remembers sitting in the back of the car with no seat belt on? Gosh, we’d go flying whenever the breaks were hit suddenly. There were even a few times I sat in the tray of my dad's ute! You wouldn’t see that happening these days…

My wife Linda found out that our dog (a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian.
The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell Linda that, if she wanted to keep this from recurring, she should go to the pharmacy and get some 'Nair' Hair Remover and rub it in the dog's ears once a month.
Oh this is a good one! Click here to read the rest of the joke. A big thanks to member @Skipton for this one!
