**Too busy drinking beer.

I like it!

**Heheh. So do we. All frosty cold. Not like that Pommy dish-water. Have you
seen the new Carlton beer ads over there? They're a hoot.


Is your
government really paying out a grand to couples for every newborn?

**3 grand, I understand. Just what Australia needs: More people. We are
grossly over-populated and our war-mongering, moronic PM wants MORE
humans
in Australia. Sheesh.

Hm. The story sold here was that you were in danger of extinction.

**[SERIOUS] Sort of. With our aging population, our nation will be in deep
****, within a couple of decades as the Baby Boomers retire from the
workforce. There are simply not enough young people to keep the money
flowing.

Aussie chicks are smarter than that, though. 3 Grand wouldn't pay for
food
and baby clothes for the first year.

Damn, now. You don't *keep* it. You put it up for adoption as soon as
the cash comes through.

**Silly me. Great idea. I'll talk to the boss when she gets back from
Townsville. I don't think she'll go for it, though. Last time we had the
discussion, it went kinda like this: "If you want a kid, then YOU get
pregnant, or go adopt one. I don't want one of those things around the
house."
