For the Dog Lovers
Gordon Brown called Alastair Darling into his office one day and
aid, 'Alastair , I have a great idea!? We are going to go all out to
win back Middle England '. 'Good idea PM, how will we go about
it?' said Darling.
'Well' said Brown 'we'll get ourselves two of those long Barbour
coats, some proper wellies, a stick and a flat cap, Oh and a
Labrador . Then we'll really look the part.. We'll go to a nice old
country pub, in Much Something or other and we'll show we
really enjoy the countryside, .........
'Right PM' said Darling. So a few days later, all kitted out and with
the requisite Labrador at heel, they set off. Eventually they
arrived in a quiet little village and found a lovely country pub and,
with the dog, went in and up to the bar.
'Good evening Landlord, two pints of your best ale, from the
wood please' said Brown
'Good evening, Prime Minister' said the landlord, 'two pints of
best it is, coming up'
Brown & Darling stood leaning on the bar contemplating new
taxes, nodding now and again to those who came in for a drink,
whilst the dog lay quietly at their feet.
Suddenly the door from the adjacent bar opened and in came a
grizzled old shepherd, complete with crook. He walked up to the
Labrador, lifted its tail with his crook, looked underneath,
shrugged his shoulders and walked back to the other bar.
A few moments later, in came a wizened farmer who followed the
same procedure, to the bewilderment of Brown and Darling.
People of all ages and gender followed suit over the next hour.
Eventually, unable to stand it any longer, Darling called the
landlord over. 'Tell me' said Darling, 'Why did all those people
come in and look under the dog's tail like that??? Is it an old
country custom?
'Good Lord no,' said the landlord. 'It's just that someone has told
them that there was a Labrador in this bar with two a**eholes'Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I thought I would translate it for those in Oz on the forum.
Kevin Rudd called Wayne Swan into his office one day and aid, “Wayne I have a great idea!? We are going to go all out to win back The Bush “ . “Good idea PM, how will we go about it?†said Darling.
â€Well†said Brown “we'll get ourselves two of those Akubra Hats coats, some RM Williams boots, some moleskins, Oh and a Blue Heeler . Then we'll really look the part. We'll go to a nice old bush pub, in Arrrralooola lloo something or other and we'll show we really enjoy the bush†.........
"Right PM" said Darling. So a few days later, all kitted out and with the requisite cattle dog at heel, they set off. Eventually they arrived in a small country town and found an old pub with long verandah and, with the dog, went in and up to the bar.
"Good evening Landlord, two schooners of VB please" said Rudd
"Good evening, Prime Minister" said the landlord, "there you go two schooners of VB."
Rudd and Swan stood leaning on the bar contemplating new taxes, Emissions Trading Schemes and other ways to screw ‘working families', nodding now and again to those who came in for a drink, whilst the dog lay quietly at their feet.
Suddenly the door from the adjacent bar opened and in came a wirey old Cocky. He walked up to the Cattle dog, lifted its tail with his hand, looked underneath, shrugged his shoulders and walked back to the other bar.
A few moments later, in came a Jackeroo who followed the same procedure, to the bewilderment of Rudd and Swan. People of all ages and gender followed suit over the next hour. Eventually, unable to stand it any longer, Darling called the landlord over. "Tell me" said Swan, "Why did all those people come in and look under the dog's tail like that??? Is it an old bush custom?"
"Sh!t no," said the landlord. 'It's just that someone has told them that there was a Blue Heeler in this bar with two a**eholes"“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
