Gro-oan

A piece of black tarmac goes into a bar and says, "Give me a pint and make it quick because I'm hard and scared of no-one". Just them a piece of red tarmac comes up to the bar and the black piece dashes into the toilet. After a while he come out and says, "Has he gone yet?" The barman says, "What's all this I'm scared of no-one?" The black tarmac replies, "No-one messes with him, he's a cycle-path"

Sorry about that, but I'm not to blame for it!

And a big hi to the truck driver who passed too close yesterday in Sandy Bay yesterday before turning left in front of me. Two goes and you still missed, you mullet-headed loser.
