NIPPON LUVS TERRITORY CASHIER

TOKYO.- In a high honour for the NT , the Japanese Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dolphins (SPCD) has asked Treasurer Delia Lawrie to be its roaming ambassador in the South Pacific. As such , she will have the SPCD logo – a bottle nosed dolphin which glows in the dark - tattooed on her forehead.

Crocodile Dundee star , Paul Hogan , is the only other Australian SPCD ambassador , his special dolphin tattoo in a part of his body where the Australian Taxation Office cannot possibly find it, even with the help of a laser lamp and waterboarding. Informed sources claim Hoges's dolphin is disguised as an overcooked prawn, with a dash of chilli sauce.

In Japan , the sick Japanese stockmarket Nikkei index jumped 1000 points after television reported the unusual fact that the NT Government has a Treasurer with a school of dolphins tattooed on her fiscally, well-balanced leg. The Japanese economy had been so sick that the government is now thinking of appointing a new treasurer,Madame Butterfly, with twin tattoos of hot air balloons on her thighs, to try and re- inflate business activity which has been looking like Pearl Harbour for yonks .

SPCD secretary ,Yoko Flipper, taped the news report about the NT Treasurer and called an extraordinary meeting of members , delighted to see a person in high office highlighting the plight of dolphins .
They all agreed the Aussie treasurer was the next best thing to a double serving of sushi and should star in Baz Luhrmann’s next version of Australia .

At that gathering there was speculation about whether or not former Federal Treasurer , Peter Costello, has a tattoo of any sealife, perhaps a dolphin or a squid , on his person. However, the majority feeling was that the honourable gentleman has a live box jellyfish swimming around in his trackies , which accounts for his facial expressions . Or else tasty slivers of bamboo driven beneath his fingernails.
