IS THIS A LIBEL?
Dear "Non-Comn.,"-That the digger was considered a hard doer is nearly proved by the following:-
Scene: A train compartment.
Occupants: Bluey on leave and a sweet young lady - rangers to each other.
After travelling for about fifteen minutes, the sweet young thing looks across at Blue, and asks: "Are you really an Australian?"
"Too right," replies Blue. "What makes you think that I am not?"
"Because you haven't tried to kiss me, made love to me, or sworn at me!" was the reply.
Bluey soon got busy, and proved that 'he was a dinkum. There was nothing wrong with his language, either!
