I’d like to call this meeting of the Groundswell Gore-South chapter committee to order said Earl banging a bent spoon on the side of an enamel mug.
Kev looked around - Earl it’s only us mate, and I didn’t say anything.
Right, right said Earl, we’re here today to celebrate getting rid of Cindy the fish and chip girlie, what’s the new one called?
Chippy.
Yeah very good Kev, that is what we call a fish and chip shop. Earl thought it’d be quite nice to have a battered sausage about now instead of the tin of biscuits they had.
The Christmas selection had been nice to start with but there were only Krispies left. Earl thought about saying something witty like No one likes the coconuts but he figured it’d go right over Kev’s head. So he said I mean what is the name of the new bloke - won’t it be great to have a bloke as the chief again?
The PM is going to be Chippy.
Earl wondered if perhaps they should open a window and get some fresh air in, lot of stuff that gave off fumes kept in the shed, it seemed to be affecting Kev’s brain. No, I mean the old PM used to be a chippy but she’s gone now who is the new one?
The new PM is Chippy.
The new PM is Chippy?
Yep.
We’ve replaced a PM that worked in a Fish and Chip shop with one called Chippy, are you taking the piss?
Nope.
Oh well at least we got rid of Cindy eh. Women’s place is in the home when all is said and done.
Is that where yours is Earl, up at the house?
No she left, she said she was sick of listening to me go on about Cindy, that things I was saying weren’t normal. She left this morning. Bloody women eh - can’t take a joke.
That’s no good mate.
No, another bloody thing that Jacinda is responsible for!
Meanwhile a long way further north one of the Destiny Church bigwigs, Paul, was chatting with a bouncer on the door.
God will be happy now, said the bouncer smiling.
