I am sure country motorists don’t need to be told kangaroos are a problem.

We are all aware of the growth in numbers.
The Office of Environment estimates there are currently seventeen million kangaroos in NSW alone … a record number.
NRMA Insurance indicates NSW has the highest number of animal collisions in the country – up 9%.
Of 12000 claims for animal collision, 10000 were with kangaroos.
The Ambulance Service has seen a 48 per cent rise in incidents in which collision with a kangaroo has resulted in an ambulance being required.
Kangaroo numbers will continue to increase.
I don’t know where responsibility lies, surely there is an agency, but, unfortunately for the roos, fortunately for motorists, some authority needs to step up and act, and cull.

A 19 year old unlicenced driver stole a car in Sydney a week or so ago.
He crashed it into a house, this started a fire destroying the home.
A family goes to bed and end up without a home because of an irresponsible act of stupidity.
I don’t know how we can make our roads, and our lives, safer when we share the roads with idiots.
Driving home the other day a large dark coloured ute, travelling well above the town speed limit came up quickly behind me.
Approaching Acramans Bridge I indicated I would be turning right onto Brial Road.
This idiot passed me on the bridge, over double lines.
A friend had a similar idiot pass him over double lines approaching the crest of the rise on the road from town to the Cowra turnoff.
We all witness idiots driving like maniacs.
There has to be as much urgency getting rid of them as the kangaroos.

A flight is on its way to Sydney when a blonde in economy class gets up, moves to the first class section and sits down.
The flight attendant watches her do this and asks to see her ticket.
She then informs the blonde she has only paid for economy class and she will have to sit in the back.
The blonde replies, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful. I’m going to Sydney and I’m staying right here”.
The flight attendant goes into the cockpit and tells the pilot and co-pilot that there is a blonde bimbo who has an economy ticket but is sitting in first class.
The co-pilot goes back to the blonde and tries to explain that she only paid for economy and she’d have to leave and return to her seat.
The blonde replied, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful. I’m going to Sydney and I’m staying right here”.
The co-pilot tells the pilot he should have the police waiting to arrest this blonde woman when they land.
The pilot says, “You say she’s blonde. I’ll handle this, I’m married to a blonde, I speak blonde”.
He goes back to the blonde, whispers in her ear, and she says, “I’m sorry”.
She gets up and goes back to her seat in economy.
The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and ask him what he said to get her to move with no fuss.
The pilot replied, “I told her first class wasn’t going to Sydney”.

Following last week’s WITS touching on ‘man’ again.
A clue in last week’s cryptic crossword: The male sort includes females as well.
Answer: mankind.
No one should mangle our language – manic manipulation of one’s wordmanship.
No way!
