Well officer, it’s just that I’m eight and a half months pregnant. The baby was bouncing on my bladder. In fact if you don’t let me go now, I think I’m going to pee all over the seat! Thanks! I won’t do it again! ---

Maybe it could be because ‘good porno always has to have lots of female moaning and groaning’. ---

I know these things about cricket: that noses rarely get bloodied and that uniforms barely get soiled. This leads me to wonder why Australia even bothers with it (I guess I’ve seen too many games of Aussie rules football). As far as Australia’s cricket history with Britain goes, I know there is a tournament called the Ashes held twice per year between them. I’m pretty sure Australia lost the last one. Beyond that, I can’t tell you who played, where it was played or even when it was played. Televised cricket apparently doesn’t exist in backwater Canada. Maybe next year. In seven words, explain to me why people like Vegemite. ---
