Queensland Charm School
.
Two informally dressed ladies happened to start-up a conversation during
an endless wait in Townsville's airport.
The first lady was an arrogant Toorak matron married to a wealthy
business man.
The second was a well-mannered woman from Kelso in Townsville .
When the conversation centered on whether they had any children, the
Yarrawonga woman started by saying, "When my first child was born, my husband
built a beautiful mansion for me."
The lady from Kelso commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued, "When my second child was born, my husband
bought me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz.
Again, the lady from Kelso commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued boasting, "Then, when my third child was born,
my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet.
Yet again, the Kelso lady commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman then asked her companion, "What did your husband buy for
you when you had your first child?"
"My husband sent me to charm school," declared the Kelso lady.
"Charm school?" the first woman cried, "Oh, my Lord! What on earth
for?"
The Kelso lady responded, "Well as an example... instead of saying, "Who
gives a ****?", I learned to say, "Well, isn't that precious . . . . "
