A friend of mine has two premium "Paddock Club" tickets for the 2017 Melbourne Formula 1 Grand Prix on 26 March, both with access to pit lane walks, main straight grandstand seating overlooking the pits, catering, etc. He paid a couple of thousand dollars for each, and didn't realise last year when he bought them that this was going to be on the same day as his wedding, and he's gutted at the clash of dates. If anyone is interested, he is looking for someone to take his place.

It's at Christ Church, Saint Kilda, at 3:00 pm. Her name is Ashley, she's 170 cm tall, about 55 kg ... she will be the one in the white dress.

Lol, I could tell that was coming, but no less funny all the same.

Just read these out in class to my Yr12 Physics students who are about to head home with huge smiles on their faces - especially as they think about our friends from the good ol' USofA!

I laughed bigly too.
They are good jokes, almost the best ever. Nearly as good as American jokes which would be really great if we had told them..
