Why did they call it 'Skippy the bush kangaroo'? Was that to differentiate it from Skippy the golf course kangaroo and Skippy the strip mall kangaroo?

Well there are actually Tree Kangaroos. Endangered though. 

In mainland Australia there are two species, both are found up in the Tropical North, close to the Daintree.  They are more slightly more common in PNG and Indonesia, but still rare.

Unlike the mythical dropbear it is relatively safe to walk under them.

Are Tree Kangaroos any relation to the Snipe, which I used to look for at night when I was on camp-outs in the Boy Scouts 70 years ago - when boys were boys and girls were girls?  ;D That was long before I was in the Air Force and was given a bucket and sent looking for some "prop wash". As it turned out I never did find any snipes or anything to wash propellers. ;)

Hump Day jokes are here again:   

A teacher asks the class to name things that end with 'tor' that eat things.
    The first little boy says, "Alligator." "Very good," the teacher says, "that's a big word."
    The second boy says, "Predator."
    "Yes, that's another big word. Well done," she says.
    Little Johnny says, "Vibrator." After nearly falling off her chair, she says, "That is a big word, but it doesn't eat anything." "Well",    says Little Johnny, "my sister has one and she says it eats batteries like there's no tomorrow!"

A tree is the last place I'd expect to find a kangaroo. Weird animals.

Looks like how my Marine buddy described being sick on guard duty one night in Korea. He "Didn't know which end to point at the ground first..."

An old man crashed his car into a very expensive automobile. The owner of the expensive car jumps out and yells at the old man “Give me $10,000 or I will beat you to a pulp!”
The old man replies, “I don’t have that much money, but let me call my son, he trains dolphins.”
The old man dials his son and as he starts talking, the owner of the expensive car yanks the phone out of his hand and yells “Listen up, dolphin trainer, your old man just hit and damaged my very expensive car! Bring me $10,000 or I’m gonna beat the heck outta him, and you!”
There is a brief pause, and then the son says “Okay, I'll be there in 15 minutes.” In exactly 15 minutes the son pulls up in a Jeep. The son and three men jump out and beat the snot out of the expensive car owner.
The son walks over to his father, hugs him and says “Dad... I train Navy Seals, not 'dolphins'. "

The joke is that the German TV took this popular and timeless movie out of the program and wont show it anymore. They've figured Winnetou who was defending the Apache Gold is accordingly to today standards a Nazi.  ;D

Now you can go and pay for it to the bandits on prime and google while still paying the mandatory state TV bill. HA-HA

As usual husbands should keep their mouths shut when answering a question from their wife.

I learned a long time ago when she asks "does this dress make my butt look big?" never, never, never give an honest answer! ;D
