I think I read a very similar joke a few years ago that ended:
“But what did happen to your husband then?”
“Oh, he was lying in the middle of the road licking his dick when a truck ran over him.”

New Zealand cricketers are praying for rain in Columbo.
No New Zealand cricket team in the entire history of test cricket has ever lost six consecutive test matches. They lost five in 1954 – 55 but not SIX.

New Zealand cricket is in a complete shambles. I thought Jonathan Millmow summed up the multitude of problems very well:

Looks like the Law and the Court maybe starting to harden up to protestors.
After the Waihope debacle its not before time. You cause loss to people through your actions you should pay. Lucy the Warrior might just be the first.

Greenpeace protesters asked to pay $700,000
LYN HUMPHREYS
Eight Greenpeace protesters, headed by Lucy Lawless, are being asked to pay $700,000 after pleading guilty earlier this year to illegally boarding the drillship Noble Discoverer in February.

“Shell is assisting the police and the court with their inquiry into the costs associated with the delay to the operator, Shell Todd Oil Services.”

To date the figure of more than $700,000 was the estimated cost to the Noble Discoverer contractor, Shell Todd Oil Services, of the delay caused by the Greenpeace occupation, Mr Jager said.

Senior Sergeant Malcolm Greig confirmed yesterday the sentencing was adjourned and a new date was yet to be scheduled.

In the meantime, police continued to work with the victims, Shell, to verify the reparation amount, he said.

By law, it was for the prosecution to seek a reparation order on behalf of any victims.

Sounds like some of the “younger” generation on KB, you know the ones who work all day blogging from their Govt. jobs.

Cheating on partners, lying to friends and stealing from work – it sounds like a bad rap sheet, but it has become the norm for Kiwis under 30.

What’s more, most of them seem to think their behaviour is acceptable.

A Colmar Brunton study has found the level of dishonesty among young New Zealanders “shockingly high”.

Spencer Willis, who led the survey, said it was worrying that people deemed their actions to be OK.

“There appears to be a wide gap between the way people see themselves and the way they view society.”
