Survivor - Not!

Survivor is back on TV.  I don't know why I do it to myself.  I watch it but it also drives me nuts.  I can't look away.  It is amazing because I know the producers are doing it to me but I still can't stop it driving me nuts!  The producers pick out the 22 people who are least likely to survive, well, anything!  These must be the dumbest 22 people on earth.  It makes me think of Monsters verses Aliens (Yes, all I really watch is kid movies) where they are talking about his lack of brains;

"Turns out you don't need one! Totally Overrated!!"

It is brilliant, but I am reminded of it every time I see Survivor.  I think that some of the time, these people must forget to breathe.  I can just see Jeff Probst going around and having to occasionally remind them to "Suck In".  This must be the hundredth season of Survivor.  There have been so many seasons, they must be running out of locations, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if the next was; Survivor, New York.  But I digress, this show has been running forever and it hasn't really been played any differently, but still, they act as if they are surprised, devastated even if someone turns on them or back stabs them.  Hello, have you even watched this show before?  Still I am absorbed.  What is wrong with me?  Next I'll be watching Days of Our Lives!

Then this is the joke of the week from the Internet, hailed as a true story.  If it is true, Mt Isa is the likely setting!

Drunk Driver True story from Australia

Drunk Driving....THIS is absolutely brilliant! Only an Aussie could pull this one off!
A true story from Mount Isa in Queensland.

Recently a routine Police patrol car parked outside a local neighbourhood pub late in the evening. The officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk.

The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five vehicles. The man managed to find his car, which he fell into. He was there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine dry night). Then flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then switched on the lights.

He moved the vehicle forward a few metres, reversed a little and then remained stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left. At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down the road. The Police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and carried out a random breathalyser test.

To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man's intoxication.

The Police officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the Police station - this breathalyser equipment must be broken."

"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy

  1. Omg, ROTFL at that joke!

    Regarding Survivor, would you believe I have never watched it? Not one episode. I don't even know what the show is about! Your description, however, of the people needing to be reminded to "Suck in!" had me laughing as all I heard in my head was Dr. Cockroach saying it to B.O.B. Yeah, all I really see are kid movies, too. At least we have THAT in common! :)
