One for the Aussies!
Quite possibly one of the BEST things I have ever seen on Good News Week.
Alas, I never actually saw this on TV as I missed last week’s episode! But a friend was kind enough to fill me in.
Watch, laugh, and sing along!

It’s amazing what a good laugh can do
I had been feeling decidedly off all afternoon. I had to work until 5 
and it was, honest to God, the longest train ride home EVER. I thought I might have to hop off, more than once.
The off feeling continued after I got home but it’s only just before, watching GNW and cacking myself, that I felt surprisingly better.
My favourite part? Paul’s rant about the notebook. OMFG. 
Never underestimate the value of laughter!

Matt, I HEART YOU!!!
I heard this on the radio this morning and laughed myself silly. (Note: It was actually MUCH funnier listening to the audio by itself because it sounds SO MUCH LIKE HIM. Heeeeee.)

Evil Attack Squirrel of DOOOOOOOM!
Neighborhood Hazard (or: Why the Cops Won’t Patrol Brice Street)
I haven’t laughed so hard in AGES.
Beck (who also sent the link for How to Drive in Beijing) was responsible for providing today’s hilarity. She always has the best links.

RWC joke
Got this from Michelle today (she’s an All Blacks fan).
The seven dwarfs went off to work in the mine one day, while Snow White stayed at home to do the housework and cook their lunch.
However when she went to the mine to deliver their lunches, she found there had been a cave-in, and there was no sign of the dwarfs.
Tearfully she yelled in to the mine entrance: “Hello - is anyone there?”
“Can anyone hear me?”
A voice floated up from the bowels of the mine: ” Australia will win the Rugby World Cup.”
“Thank God” said Snow White “at least Dopey’s still alive.”
Yeah, I admit it - I laughed.

Dilbert
Had a bit of a chuckle over today’s Dilbert strip.
I’m sure I’ve seen that… or in reverse. Like, say, someone getting in super-early and leaving early?

Not right now thanks
So I was reading over the newsletter I got from Dusk the other day and apparently they have a competition going at the moment.
Win a trip for 2 to Fiji worth $12,000
The following conversation then occurred:
Me: Hey Mum! How’d you like to win a trip for 2 to Fiji worth twelve grand?
Mum: Not while there’s a military coup going on, thanks.
Must be why Dusk have managed to get such a great package going!

How to drive in Beijing
Funniest thing I’ve read in a while:
Beijing Traffic Lesson: Left Turn
The diagrams KILL me.
