Good-day to all my Odd Bod mates. I can now report that the final
meeting of our illustrious organisation
took place as arranged on 16 September 2015, when we passed a resolution to cease
operations and cancel our incorporation. After 61 years as a recognised
association, and 74 years in total since George Smith, Tich (Charles) Marshall
and Hugh Niven decided to take the wonderful step of
calling together all the Aussie aircrew members who had served in British RAF
squadrons during WW2, we are now relying upon our relatives and friends to continue
in our footsteps with the “Friends of the Odd Bods Association Incorporation”.
All current financial Odd Bods are warmly welcomed to consider themselves as
paid-up members of the new group. We thank President Bruce Waxman and his
Committee for this generous invitation, and thank our kids, grandkids and
supporters for this opportunity to be looked after at future social and
commemorative events.
Heard
this one?
People should always don their underwear,
especially when they are working under their vehicle. There was an account from
a newspaper in Brisbane, which told a story of a couple who drove in their car
to a shopping centre only to have it break down in the car park. The man told
his wife to continue shopping while he fixed the car.
A while later, his wife came back to find
a small group of people gathered near their car. On closer inspection, she saw
a pair of hairy legs protruding from under the chassis.
Unfortunately, although the man was in
shorts, his lack of underpants turned his private parts into glaringly public
ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment any longer she dutifully stepped
forward, quickly put her hand up his shorts and tucked everything back into
place out of sight.
On regaining her feet, she looked across
the bonnet and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by
watching.
The RACQ mechanic, however, had to have
three stitches in his head!
