    screw and two to message the Mazenod boys about it.


    St Hilda's - One. She'll put through a call to maintenance staff because
    there's no way she's going to do manual labour.


    St Mary's Anglican Girls School - The girl who answered the phone said she
    was pleased to be included with the other schools but probably would never
    know the answer because her Daddy had said to phone immediately if the
    maintenance man made any disgusting suggestions.


    St Stephens School- Everyone. A group in the toilets to break the light
    globe. The staff to announce the breakage in the daily notices. The P&F,

    When will the Sunday Times publish the article about Applecross SHS's successful change of light bulb?
    And, is it one of Malcolm Turnbull's power saving flouro bulbs?
    I have to ask, as I'm a Liberal supporter and I would be disappointed at anything less.

    Just kidding, Kev.

    Heard a good one at my softball presentations last night and thought i'd share it even though i'm a Dockers supporter because i though it was pretty good.

    How many Dockers does it take to change a lightbulb?
    None, because they can't reach the top of the ladder!
