Subject: Someone from my high school in Bowen 

A friend of mine was married on Sunday, and the Best Man's speech went 
something like this......
        "..then Pat lived in the Outback for some time, no mod-cons, just 
the bush.  One day he received a letter from his dear old mother, 
requesting a photograph of him since her memory wasn't quite what it used 
to be.  Pat was a bit perplexed.  He only had one photo of himself, and 
it was a shot of him wearing only his bush-bashing outfit....nothing 
but a grin and a pair of sandals.  So, being the enterprizing lad that he 
was, Pat cut the offending bottom half off the photo and sent the top 
half to his dear mum, feeling rather pleased with himself.
        A fortnight later he receives another letter, this time from his 
dear old grandmother.  She had heard of the photo he had sent to his 
mother, and was now also requesting a photo of him.  Struth!  What 
was he to do?  All he had left was the starkers bottom half of the photo.  
But then he thought about his grandmother....she's basically blind!  So he 
sends her the bottom half of the photo with all its attached dangley bits, 
knowing that she'll never see anything anyway.
        A fortnight after that he receives yet another letter, again from 
his grandmother.  Oh SHIT! he thinks, now I'm in for it.  But to his 
amazement the letter read..

  "Dear Paddy,
        It was ever so nice to see you again, the photo was 
  lovely.  I see you take after your father more each year....he was 
  always in need of a shave, had bags under his eyes, and never wore 
  his tie straight, either.
        Love, Nan."
