Mr Rudd wants me to spend!

[it must be funny (and partially nude) in a rich man's world]

Today I received from Julia Gillard telling me that I will receive $950 rather soon.

I felt like writing back to her “thanks love. Usually I’m paying women money, but this is a first – it’s the other way around” but thought like a cork board in the hallway at TAFE, that would be rather tacky.

But yes, I will be getting almost one thousand dollars to spend as my heart desires.

Mr Rudd says “spend spend spend”! My mind says “save save save”!

Perhaps it is the doctrine of my Dad who lived through Depression version 1.0 and never bought a thing in his life on credit (not even a house) instilled inside my brain thinking that I should put it away for a rainy day, but damn it – all I see is bloody clouds outside my window and what’s the matter with splashing some cash every now and then (it worked for K-Rudd, didn’t it?).

So what will I get with my hard earned hand out from Canberra? I am thinking I will get a few things I haven’t had before.

No, not a long term girlfriend – they cost more than $950.  I would like to get a Dreamtime jersey (so when I tell people I'm Aboriginal I won't need to show them my passport for them to believe me), a Bulldogs jersey and an IPhone.

I know that our esteemed PM told us to spend the money locally and that all three of the above are probably made in China, but isn't everything made in China these days?
