HEHEHE! That's very clever. I got this one the other day...
THE RURAL RECESSION.
The Rural Recession has been explained in simple terms by an old-time farmer
It all started back in 1966 when we changed from pounds to dollars - that doubled me bloody overdraft.
Then they brought in kilograms instead of pounds - me bloody wool clip dropped by half.
After that, they changed rain to millimetres and we haven’t had an inch of rain since.
If that wasn’t enough, they brought on Celsius, and it never got over 40 degrees, no wonder me bloody wheat won’t grow.
Then they changed acres to hectares, and I ended up with only half the land I had.
By this time I’d had enough and decided to sell out.
I put the property in the agent’s hand and then they changed miles to kilometres. Now I’m too far out of town for anybody to buy the bloody place.
