Ooopps, Too Late

I gave them your:

Full name

Address

Animal Preferrence

Age

Waist Measurement

Shoe & hat size 

all your phone numbers

Email & Netmail addresses

Medicare number

Australia Card number

Vehicle registrations

Couldn't give them your Tax number for obvious reasons



I wouldn't be suprised if they were at you door  come first light

Monday morning to trim your Ego down to 2400.



What we have in your case is Discrimination against fellow occupants of

Australia that can only acheive the required maximum of 2400



If you can't keep up with the Jones'.....Bring them DOWN to your level



......Russell
