AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Nearly everyone born in Australia before 1950 probably remembers the Dad 'n' Dave radio serial; some of us have read, or heard read, the stories from On Our Selection on which the serial was (very loosely) based; and all of the rest of you have heard a 'Dad 'n' Dave' (or, more commonly in my experience, a 'Dave'n' Mabel') joke. If you haven't, there's a good one on the last page of this book. Oh all right, here it is. But read the book, OK?
Dad and Dave were watching a dingo licking its genitals.
'You know, Dad,' said Dave, 'I hate to admit it, but all my life I've wanted to do that.'
'Go ahead,' Dad replied. 'But I'd pat him first. He looks vicious.' (p.186)' (Introduction)
