A Happy Union

We’ve all seen the ads with the Liberal Party bringing to our attention the number of trade union members and supporters present in the current Labor Party lineup. No real surprise there. They are the Labor Party, after all. However, the ad got us to thinking. There are a few sectors of society yet to be helped or hindered by membership in a trade union. 

Preschoolers – What do they want? Better tasting playdough, shorter nap breaks, longer sandpit time. When do they want it? Now! Now! Now! Now! NOW!

Astrologers  –  Are insisting upon harmony and understanding. As well as sympathy and trust abounding. They want it when Jupiter aligns with Mars.

Bridesmaids – All they want is a ban on all fluffy taffeta ‘frocks’, mandatory involvement in colour choice and guarantee that all groomsmen will be good looking and available.

Gym junkies – These guys are asking for the compulsory provision of towels to all gym members – especially that big sweaty guy on the machine in front of them, plus step machines at service desk so that not one minute of precious gym time will be wasted.

Those women who spray perfume at you as you walk through David Jones – Rather simple – they just want mandatory supply of gas masks.

    S: What about romance novelists?
    M: Well, they might not have many members, but at least they would all be ‘throbbing’ with enthusiasm.
    S: Careful, we’ll lose our PG rating.
