Reference:- Ken junior has decided to take long service leave from The Sky Reply .
What with the cold weather , and the endless floods and all , Ken junior has been very downcast and short fused of late .
He has decided to take some time off , much to our relief .
We were having breakfast when Ken junior spoke.
" For the love of God , turn the heater on , I am freezing my plums off here ! " , Ken junior said .
" We can't afford the gas . " , I said .
" Australia is the largest gas exporter in the world . They can buy our gas cheaper in Katmandu than we can here . " , Ken junior said .
" Why do you always blame the Nepalese for everything ? " , I said .
Anyway , to cut a long story short , Ken junior is off on holidays . He is taking the ute and heading bush with Dog and a month's worth of supplies .
" At least I can sit by a warm campfire . " , Ken junior said
Meanwhile , we have a vacancy at The Sky Reply . Applicants will be required to watch the Sky News anchors every night , and analyse their opinions .
The pay rate we are offering is par with the award , but as an incentive it also includes weekly counseling with an anger management psychologist , free prescriptions for Zoloft , and unlimited access to our moonshine rum still on weekends . Accommodation is provided in Ken junior's verandah sleepout . For those who don't share Ken junior's political ideology we can place a wall hanging over the portrait of Karl Marx painted on his wall . ( For this purpose I am prepared to loan my treasured hemp macrame wall hanging of Che Guevara , which I bought during the first " Earth Day " rally back in 1970 . )
Applications , including a stamped return address envelope, can be mailed to PO Box 13 Kooralya .
Your comrade , Ken
PS Ownership of one of those sub-zero sleeping bags would be an advantage.
Kooralya must be as cold as Melbourne.
