Guests enjoying a drink and canapes in their suite 

Wilma and Fred McTrouserpress were amazed to find that they had the adjoining room to Professor Marmaduke Thomas, leading expert on Australian Aboriginal artefacts. They had invited him for cocktails before dinner, but that was four and a half hours ago and he was still holding forth. Wilma was beginning to get one of her headaches, and Fred was not making things any better by plying the aged Professor with gin slings. Furthermore, she wasn't at all happy at the suggestive way the Professor was handling his boomerang.

Little did Wilma suspect that Professor Maraduke was seeing roos hopping about in the curtains because of the effect of the gin slings, and was contemplating using the boomerangs to good advantage.

Mr. Rubber Ducky:
Those drapes are... are... hmmm, I'm afraid I can't quite think of the proper word to describe them...

Apparently there has been a toilet paper shortage and one had to use what was available to do the dirty deed... and apparently many, many times...


Miss Magnolia Thunderpussy:
Oh, really, Mr. Rubber Ducky!

I thought they were Australian butterflies.


dessert rat:
I think you both may be right, and they may be the same thing!
