Of bogan genetics


An interstate [well ... in fact ... Bris+Bane] Official Friend of Minjup writes:
Sledge,
Yours is the only blog I follow – I love it.
And I can’t do the ST crossword without thinking of you.
But what is gonna happen when Boss Bogan discovers your blog – you will be dead meat.
But perhaps he cannot read.
Keep it up. 

Course, I'm flattered.
But I have to say that:

(1) Minjup has no exchange of its own.
We're on what Telstrangle calls a RIM.
So there are only five steam-driven internet connections (pre-ADSL-vanilla) down here.
I got the first one and the last four went quickly after that.
Chances of the Boss having a line are small.

(2) I saw a prog on the TV the other day which said that we have 99% of our genes in common with Gorillas.
The Bogans have 101% in common.
So their chances of reading must be close to impossible.

Then again, you don't want an angry illiterate Gorilla at your door any minute now.
