A colleague giving a talk to international students on the meaning of Waltzing Matilda was wondering how to illustrate his presentation. How lucky therefore to spy this jumbuck on a bring out your rubbish pile. He jumped out quickly at the lights and grabbed his prize. Unfortunately he hadn’t checked the rear of the animal.
Perhaps this illustrates the words of Waltzing Matilda even better. I always thought there was the implication that “waltzing” the sheep meant he was going to give it a seeing to before eating it. Right?

I haven’t done an original gag since The Simpsons first aired.
I like to think of it as an homage.

I particularly like the classy touches, such as the red lippy and the beautiful blue eyes. And is that a beauty spot I can see on the left cheek? What Kiwi male wouldnt’ be swept up in her charms?
Are we sure the Jolly Swagman hadn’t immigrated not long before he got down and dirty with the Jumbuck.

Hence the alternative Humping the Bluey, no doubt, shaz.
But as they say in Timaru, never look a gift sheep in the arse. It wasn’t glued to the top of that rubbish pile, TLA, by any chance ?

This is even funnier now, as this evening whilst having a meal at Acapulco Annie’s in Tuart Hill, there was a small child throwing this exact thing around. Nearly pissed myself laughing.
