If you love something, fasten its seatbelt
Today’s helping of Aussie news brings us word from the Northern Territory of the goings-on in and around Alice Springs.
A motorist in Australia was fined for strapping down a pack of beer rather than his young child. Officers must have been a bit incredulous when he gave both a “blank” look and the excuse that it was the first time beer had taken priority over his child.
Aw c’mon now. The good ol’ bruce never meant any harm. He was probably just on his way to a cat stew and wanted to be prepared.
The Bruce would like to take this opportunity to clairify that there is a distinct difference between the “good ol’ bruce” featured in this story and THE Bruce.
I have not been, nor shall I ever be a good ol’ boy and while I do enjoy mug of brew my drink of preference is Scotch. And though I am a lover of single malt Isleys and Speysides, I love my children more so they get first dibs on seatbelts.
Once the children are fastened in, THEN you buckle in the drink. Besides, kids can’t sit in the front seat anyhow. Wanker.
