It says in the papers that Alan Jones is a conservative who wears pink shirts, or words to that effect. They also reveal Jones taught at a private school and that a former pupil once accused him of coaching rugby.
Scandalous, sure, just not totally scandalous.
My private school actively encouraged you to become a conservative or a left winger, depending on your preference. And even though it wasn't part of the core curriculum, our wearing of pink shirts program turned out some of the best and brightest.
But only the wankers played rugby; the rest of us had standards.
No chance.

Jack Brumby and Malcolm Fraser hey... uhhmmm, which one's the conservative again?

The one with the tightest grip on the purse-strings.

Yes, I've a morbid fear of being mauled by a Maori.

Well Tony, I think I'll take the short tightarse on the right over the tall softcock on the left.
And can I have another vowel?

I hear the short tightarse is a right slavedriver.
No worries on the vowel; I'm inconsonant.

That's right Tony, you played rugby league.

Apologise! I played proper Aussie Victorian style football.

No apology from me.
Aussie Rules is okay; second best.
