Not being an habitué of such establishments I have to take it on good authority of a female acquaintance that a sign on the dunny door of a certain Senator read " If it's yellow let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down " Now when word of this leaked out to the board meeting of the Griffith Grass Growers Association there was some consternation as they relied on the only useful product to come out of her office to add a certain piquancy to their crop and thus differentiate it from the faster growing variety of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, so popular in Bali. A sigh of relief issued forth once they were told the said product would only be held back for a day at most till it flows down the Murrumbidgee from Canberra and into the irrigation channel so the crop could still mature and be ready in time for Schoolies Week. Turning to the subject of differentiation so popular with the Doomsday Crew the idea was put forth that they adopt the hashtag " Grow Green " but one of the English speaking members pointed out that would be a bit corny. ( It's amaizing the ideas that sprout up in a bored meeting. ) As it was the slogan had already been adopted by the Senator's party, though something had been lost in the translation.
Now you might wonder why I should bring up such arcane matters in the study of Climate Science but the results speak for themselves. As a result of due diligence expressed by the said Lady Senator and hopefully her minions the Gold Coast has not been drowned by rising sea levels and Schoolies is going gangbusters .
As they say when it comes to saving the Planet, every widdle bit counts.
