Goodness me Mr Capt_mulch. What an interesting photo you have found. The seaside panoramic vista in the background is all but taken over by the distracting foreground.
Yoohoo Mr Hero, (waving at you madly from my seat in front of the 'puter), I have been given another kiwi joke by Derek my M10 love , to post here since he is still too proud to make amends with the moderators of Chockstone and get his account posting rights back again, in order to post such things himself. He reckons you will like this one if you have not already heard it before.
Marooned Kiwi
A Kiwi was washed up on a beach after a terrible shipwreck. Only a sheep
and a sheepdog were washed up with him. After looking around, he realised
that they were stranded on a deserted island. After being there a while,
he got into the habit of taking his two companions to the beach every
evening to watch the sun set.
One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus
clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance. As
they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely
Kiwi. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it, but the
sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until the man
took his arm from around the sheep.
After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but
there was no more cuddling. A few months passed by and, lo and behold, there
was another shipwreck. The only survivor was a beautiful young woman, the
most beautiful woman the man had ever seen.
She was in a pretty bad way when he rescued her and he slowly nursed her
back to health. When the young maiden was well enough, he introduced her
to their evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening red sky,
cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze - perfect for a night of romance.
Pretty soon, the Kiwi started to get "those feelings" again. He fought the
urges as long as he could, but he finally gave in and leaned over to the
young woman, cautiously, and whispered in her ear, "Would you mind taking
the dog for a walk?"
