On a tour of the South East of QLD, the Queen took a couple of days off to
visit the coast. Her Range Rover was driving along the coast when
there was an enormous commotion.
They rushed to see what it was and upon approaching the scene the Queen
noticed, just outside the surf, a hapless man wearing a NSW jersey,
struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 20 foot shark!
At that exact moment a speedboat containing three men wearing QLD tops sped
into view. One of the men took aim at the shark and
fired a harpoon into its ribs, immobilising it instantly. The other two
reached out and pulled the NSW fan from the water and, using long clubs,
beat the shark to death.
They bundled the bleeding, semi-conscious man into the speedboat along with
the dead shark and prepared for a hasty retreat, when they heard
frantic calling from the shore...... It was the Queen calling them to the
beach.
On reaching land the Queen went into raptures about the rescue and said,
"I'll give you a knighthood for your brave actions. I heard that the
people of the Queensland and NSW hated each other. But now I've see this
it's a truly enlightened example of tribal harmony which
could serve as a model for other nations." She knighted them and drove off.
As she departed the harpoonist asked the others, "Who was that?!"
"That," one answered, "was the Queen. She rules the Commonwealth and knows
everything about our country."
"Well," the harpoonist replied, "she knows f**k all about shark fishing.
How's the bait holding up, do we need to get another one yet?"
