They're Getting Bigger Down Under (Too)

 Read an article in our local edition of Coffee News this week about changes involving "posties" in Australia.  Posties are the postal workers that deliver mail in Oz.     The departmental regulations for posties for Australia Post limited their weight to just under 200 lbs. U.S. b/c the motorcycles they ride to deliver the mail (Honda 110 ccs) are only designed to carry about 280 lbs. U.S. of weight.      This limit means that posties could carry up to almost 90 lbs. of mail with them.  However, presumably b/c posties have gotten a bit, errr, bigger, of late,     Australia Post has modified the regulation to allow posties to now weigh as much as about 230 lbs. U.S.  (that of course means a postie that big will only be allowed to carry a maximum of about 60 lbs. of mail).      Sounds like Oz may need to step up their production of WLS surgeons soon ..

They've always lived pretty high on the hog, but until recently high levels of activity had saved them. A little less beer, wine, cheese and shrimp on the barbie maybe? I thought I'd heard at one point they were neck and neck with the US in terms of obesity. Last time I was in Oz was 4 years ago. I saw a lot of slender blondes. Didn't notice a lot of fat guys either. Of course, I was in wealthy North Sydney with a group of youngsters.

I saw an article a while back where the factory that makes bras for all of Red China had to design and start building  a D-cup model. Evidently when you feed women a decent amount of calories they can grow some titties irregardless of how many generations of their ancestors barely survived on rice, roots, and insects. Asian women kinda make my putter stutter any way. I can't explain it.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

They're growing here too. They interviewed a bunch of women on TV here recently with H and I cups.

Yeah Dave, there was a funny story on the internet here a couple of months ago about some Japanese model who had been charged with wrecking her ex-boyfriend's appartment cause she caught him making time with some other hoochie. She was able to beat the rap in court by demonstrating that she couldn't have gotten her tits through the hole in the door that she supposedly had kicked in in order to gain entrance. She must've had some H's or I's.........but I think they were probably after market accessories.

My wife said she saw that story on TV. I'm making generalizations, but I've also never known women here to be that vindictive. Exceptions must exist, but revenge by ransacking or violence are exceedingly rare.
