The Seer

Government surveyors came to Doogan’s bush-block in the spring and asked if they could do some surveying. Doogan agreed and his wife even made them some pumpkin scones for their afternoon tea-break.

Six months later, the two surveyors stopped by and told Doogan, “Because you were so kind to us, we wanted to give you this bad news in person instead of by letter.”

Doogan replied, “What’s the bad news?”

The surveyors stated, “Well, after our work we discovered your block isn’t in Queensland, but is actually in New South Wales.”

Doogan looked at them and said, “That’s the best bloody news I’ve heard in ages. Why, I just told me wife ‘ere this mornin’, I don’t think I could take another cyclone season in Queensland!”
