They do in Australia too, I remember a Tasmanian acquaintance expounding to the bar on his stag do that getting married at least meant a "regular root". He was and still is a fuckwit, and his marriage didn't last either, no surprise.

A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo.

The kangaroo said. "About a thousand feet, unless somebody locks the gate at night!

We had a piece of furniture on which we could eat our meals, but it was stolen in a burglary. We now eat off trays on our laps It is no-table by its absence
