I can spell XXXX only on a good day (wow two in a row :-), and I consider
myself semi-literate... EH. And like all good Queenslanders I am typing
(read speaking) slowly so I hope you are reading it the same way. Which
reminds me of another golden joke, (this one from work) see below...
BTW You should be supporting real footy :-) GO the BRONCOS (we already gave
the Vics their thrashing he - he

This really is a joke you have to hear to appreciate but in an effort to
brighten up everyones day I will attempt it here. When you read C A P I T A
L S L I K E T H I S please read in a slow, dottery old country type
voice.
An old station owner is flying his cessna into Brisbane from some property
out west to get the aircraft serviced. He is a bit apprehensive about flying
into Brisbane Controlled Airspace as his procedures are fairly rusty. As he
approaches the Controlled Airspace boundary he calls the ATC for a clearance
to enter in his country drawl.

The ATCer who is extremely busy with the morning gaggle has traffic
conflicts left, right and centre. In a rapid, staccato burst of speach that
can only be managed whilst your sphincter is in your throat and your license
is in the hands of the gods the air traffic controller rattles out a
clearance with an amended track and a clearance limit (which indicates
holding at a pre-determined position)
A.B.C. clearance enter CTA tracking amended route Silva, Laravale, Bromelton
at 9500. Clearance limit Bromelton. Make left orbit.
This whole transmission lasted half a second and sounded something like the
cipmunks after a heavy caffeine session.
Needless to say our friend from the bush didn't copy anyhting. So in a
bemused voice he transmits.
