#26: Iceberg

Johnny iceberg
John’s latest combined water/greenhouse strategy seems to be to melt the Polar icecaps as quickly as possible, thus diluting the world’s oceans to a point where Australians will be able to quench their thirst simply by dipping their glasses into the waves outside their waterfront properties. On Uluru.

Approximately 10% of your standard iceberg is above the waterline, leaving around 90% hidden in the murky depths. A similar ratio of 10% above board to 90% murky depths can be successfully applied to the content of any given public utterance by the Prime Minister as long as you remember that the 10% goes on GST.

Pictured in the distance is the S.S. Latham, noisily making its way to the bottom of the ocean. Efforts have been made by the ALP to make it sink faster, but they have been hampered by two salvage operations on the Tony Bullimore of Australian Politics, the S.S. Beazley.

    Gotta repeat myself, the artwork is brilliant.

    Will medicare still cover me for a busted gut. Your words have damn near killed me, entrails ruptured, haphazardly scattered across the linolium. Keep up the great work. Haven’t laughed so much in ages.
