BUDGET BLATHER

BUDGET BLATHER

With all the fuss you make about the budget here are a few thoughts from this monkey’s point of view. To help you gain some perspective I thought first up to record the late Chuck Missler’s way of explaining numbers by using the example of seconds, as in time measurement.

ONE million seconds equals  12 days

ONE billion seconds equals   32 years

ONE trillion seconds equals 32 thousand years

To lose a trillion dollars, if you started a business on the day Jesus was born, about 2,019 years ago, and lost a million dollars a day, by 2,737 you would have lost a TRILLION dollars

Australia’s debt as at April 2017 (it has been Turnbulled since then) was $551.75 billion

The USA currently owes 14.6 TRILLION US Dollars

These are believed to be correct by this monkey, but, hey, whats a billion or two here and there? I reckon it will be a miracle if the zoo remains open with these monkeys running things!

Enjoy the Budget this evening, I suggest a stiff Banana liqueur for fortification!

Gibber! Gibber!

  1. Bring on the sandwiches and banana liqueur!
    One could always watch re-runs of Midsommer Murders or encores of Judge Judy.

    1. I love a witty rejoinder! The Zoo is in lockdown waiting for the budget, you can always watch the Outsiders comments from about 6pm on Sky. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley

  2. Dear Chugley. You make mention of the Dubbo Zoo, which did not exist when I did my high schooling in that town. And like you, I believe that chimps and humans were created as we see them today, well almost, this human doesn’t move as freely as he used to. But I must confess, a few of my school mates could make one ponder evolution. And please, no more billions and trillions, you make my head ache. But then it sure puts our time on this planet in some perspective. Makes me realise my time here, 3 score years and ten, plus a few, should be well spent. And when one sees what is going on in this world, wars, famines, earthquakes, moral decay, the list goes on, I recognise that I should be ready for my end. And I don’t fear that, having met the One who has clearly warned
    me about these things. If you are one of Chugleys fans, I trust you are ready too.

    1. Well said Milton, thank you for the kind comment. Almost makes me want to become fully human, this evolution lark is no joke! Gibber! Gibber! Chugley
