Yesh, It didn't take long for the jokes to come out...
Anthony Stevens was putting his three year old
daughter to bed. He told her a story and listened to her prayers which she ended by saying, "God bless mommy, God bless daddy, God bless grandma, and goodbye grandpa."
Stevens said, "Why did you say 'good-bye grandpa'?"
The little girl said "I don't know, daddy, it just
seemed like the thing to do."
The next day grandpa died. Stevens thought it was
a strange coincidence.
A few months later Stevens put the girl to bed and
listened to her prayers, which went like is: "God bless mommy, God bless daddy, and good-bye grandma."
Next day the grandmother died.
My gosh, thought Stevens, this kid is in contact
with the other side.
Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed
Stevens heard her say, "God bless mommy, and good-bye daddy."
He practically went into shock. Couldn't sleep all
night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous as a cat all day, had
lunch sent in and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be OK. He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, took the phone off the hook, looking at his watch every ten minutes and jumping
at every sound.
Finally midnight arrived, he breathed a sigh of
relief and went home.
When he got home Stevens wife said, "I've never
seen you work so late, what's the matter?"
He said "I don't want to talk about it, I've just spent the worst day of my life."
She said "You think you had a bad day, haven't you
heard the news ?
Wayne Carey was killed in a car accident tonight"
-------------------------------
Wayne Carey wakes up one morning, showers and puts on his best tracksuit ready for another hard days work of being an overpaid footballer.
Catching sight of himself in the mirror he thinks, "By God, Wayne, you're looking good this morning". He admires the fine cut of his outfit and the Neat trim of his hair, and flexes his biceps. "Feeling good,too" he notes proudly at the firm swell of muscle underneath the tight tracksuit he was wearing.
He enters the kitchen downstairs where his wife hands him a bowl of Cornflakes. "You're looking fit this morning, Wayne". "You don't have to tell me..," says the thick tosser appreciatively. "I feel good as well." "But you're not smelling so good, mind you " comments his beloved. Wayne takes a sniff. "You're right there." he says worriedly. "I am smelling a bit rough."
He eats his cereal, downs his coffee, and sets off for Arden Street.
"Good morning, Denis," he grins at Denis Pagan. "It's a fine morning
Wayne,"
Says Dennis, "and you're looking really good."
"Why thank you. I look good and I feel pretty good as well," says Wayne flexing both arms for his benefit.
"Oh Wayne!" winces Denis in disgust, "you smell awful!"
Worried, Wayne visits his doctor. "Doc, I've got a problem. I look good, I feel great, but I smell awful."
The doc reaches down for his medical dictionary. "You look good," he scans down the page, "you feel great....but.....smell awful. Hmmm yes..."
It's quite simple, Wayne," the doctor says
"You're a Cunt."

What has Ansett and Anthony Stevens wife got in common?
Both have been f*cked by Big Kangaroos.
) and yes I don't like the way sport is portrayed as the most important thing in Australian society by the media. BUT everybody who wrote saying how much they hated football and footy players and how stupid they were are just as narrow minded as those you wish to degrade.
