Mount Isa has been in the news lately – not just in my home state of Queensland, but internationally as well. The crux of the story is that the mayor of Mt Isa, John Molony, has suggested that his town may be a great place for women who are ‘beauty challenged’ may want to move to. Mt Isa is a mining town and the ratio of males to females is 5 to 1.
Mr Malony was accused of being politically incorrect…I heard him on radio defending his statements and affirming that he is in fact NOT politically correct. (His defense of “you cannot pick up a turd by the clean side” actually entertained me more than his ‘beauty challenged’ comments.)
Anyhow, this reminds me of one of my favourite Pearly Gates stories…..
Three guys die together and go to heaven.... St. Peter says, "We only have one rule...don't step on the ducks as they are God's favourite creation."
They enter heaven and see ducks everywhere, and it's almost impossible to not step on a duck. The first guy accidentally steps on one, and soon here comes St. Peter with the biggest, ugliest woman he'd ever seen...
St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment is to be chained to this ugly woman forever."
The next day the second guy steps on a duck...Sure enough, St. Peter comes with another ugly woman and chains them together.
Seeing this, the third guy is very, very careful. He goes for months and doesn't step on any ducks.
One day, St. Peter comes along with this beautiful woman: Blonde, blue-eyed, very young and very sexy. He chains them together and leaves without a word.
The man remarks, "I wonder what I did to deserve this good fortune?" And the Blonde says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck.
