Found
G'Day All. Sorry I have not been very active on the beloved MLU lately...
and it may be some time down the track before I get "active" again... Things are hectic around here at the moment! Meanwhile, here is a cartoon that my young fella found in one of my old books. Jolliffe.jpg From one of the "Jolliffe's Outback" series of books. Look for them in book shops, they are rare mix of wry humour, Aussie folk lore, our bush history and outstanding art!

I could be wrong but i think they might be dog treats for them to chew on
 Another possibility is as a training aid for teaching pigging dogs to tag ?

Speaking of such, a WARNING to all of our MLU friends... If you receive an email warning about CANNED PORK PRODUCTS causing SWINE FLU, ignore it. It is simply SPAM!

Got this one from a colleague in Thailand:
It is low season in a small town in northern Issan, it is raining so there is not too much business happening, and as usual business and everyone else is heavily in debt. Luckily, a farang tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local hotel. He asks for a room and puts a 1000 baht note on the reception counter, takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the third floor. The hotel owner takes the banknote in hurry and rushes to his meat supplier to whom he owes 1000 baht. The butcher takes the money and races to his wholesale supplier to pay his debts. The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay 1000 for pigs he purchased some time ago. The farmer triumphantly gives the 1000 note to a local prostitute who gave him her services on credit. The prostitute goes quickly to the hotel, as she owed the hotel for her hourly room use to entertain her clients. At that moment, the farang tourist is coming down to reception and informs the hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory and takes his 1000 note back and departs. Now, there was no profit or income, but everyone no longer has any debt and the small townspeople look optimistically towards their future and continue to make a living. Thai Logic Works.
