Why is it.................?

[Citroënbender]

Pretty much every parcel zooming around the world’s postal services has a scan code. What you can find out about it, reflects the level of service purchased by the seller and any predilections of the countries involved.

But the recipient cannot purchase extra transit information “on the go”, at their expense - nor can the sender upgrade tracking ad hoc. Imagine being able to lay down (say) another $2.20 and see all scan events on an economy parcel. It would seem there’s a lucrative worldwide business for the taking.

Why is it that we white Australians are told that showing photos or naming dead Aboriginals is a no no?
Case in point David Dalaithngu?......who is this person?.....I certainly dident know who he was when they named this great Indigenous actor and dancer as being deceased, it's a lot of crap!
His Christian name is Gulpilil, David was bestowed upon him by the film directors.

But me being me, well I respect the Aboriginal peoples right to their cultural beliefs!
But it defies logic when on my TV screen is a video of the actor emblazoned on the Opera House sails, the channel 9 reporter is calling him by his 2 Christian names David Gulpilil, and to confuse white non indigenous Australians more his name is put up in text across the TV

Either it's David Dalaithngu or its David Gulpilil?

I give up!

Before he passed away David Gulpilil (Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu) gave permission that any photos or images of him can be shown after his death.

yes but at the time of his death it was his family's request that the press use his birth name from them as stated in the first few releases of his death

I watched his family and relatives on TV saying his name cannot be used and neither his pictures, then on channel nine emblazoned across my TV screen was "David Gulpilil" and his face body etc were emblazoned across the Sydney Opera House Sails??

So which do they want?......because I don't know anymore, what is or isn't cultural and what is made up on the spot

and what rules the media choose to ignore

Why is it that it feels like i'm the only person that refills the paper towel rolls in the men's room and the water jug in the brew room?

Men's room is amazing: we have 4 towel roll dispensers; more times than not if the first one is out, at least one of the others will be out, too. And there are spare rolls right next to the sinks.

C'mon guys, you're all technical people, I'm sure you can work out how to change a simple paper towel roll

It's because you keep doing it, people figure you will sort it out for them........ask me how I know this!

I dare you to leave it that way next time and see what happens.

I know what would happen; they'd just leave it for the cleaners to do. And then complain that there's no paper towel in between!

This happened to me in 1969 so it's not a new problem

Why is it when archaeologists discover human remains they are only ever male or female?

[wodahs]

if an archaeologists discovered them then they'd be old bones
to old to have evolved to a spaceship or any other they now want to be refereed to

disclaimer :~ this is only my hypothesis
and i never did take that class in quantumstupidics

Could be hermaphrodite, if it's bones you couldn't tell, the pelvic bones are the giveaway, but a female child bearing skeleton could of had both male and female genetalia!...long gone of course!

Why is it most wives get upset if they catch their husbands masturbating while watching pornography? Don't the wives realise their husband is displaying empathy. :-P

Why is it....
that so many seem be so outraged by everything atm, even on here? People seem to be outraged at the slightest thing that they don't agree with or doesn't suit their way of thinking, but they are outraged without knowing the details or background of the subject.

The situation with covid testing (or lack thereof) and Novak are case in point.

Is point 4 on this list the answer?



Similarly, I saw a story the other day where a lady, her partner and her daughter travelled to Fiji (presumably for a holiday). Unfortunately for them, they contracted covid whilst visiting. As a result of that, they were placed into isolation. I saw the lady complaining about their circumstances and how unfairly they were being treated. She was even complaining about the fact that her daughter and her had travel insurance (I think it was) but couldn't use that to help them out. Seriously, who takes a holiday to a country that is less medically established than here, at a time when there is a worldwide pandemic on and the chances of you contracting that disease are relatively high and then complains about it when that scenario eventuates Did you research the details of your travel insurance before you went to understand as to how it would apply if you contracted covid whilst visiting? Did you research to find out what would happen to you if you contracted covid whilst visiting, and what your rights were in that scenario? If so, and you still decided to accept that risk and went, why whinge about it? Accept it for it what it is and deal with it. Step up and accept some responsibility for the situation.

It was just a bit of humour, most blokes complain about being married at some time or other.
I'm on my second marriage and have been for over 30 years and happily so.
Once again, just a joke, sorry to those who took it the wrong way.
