IRISH PUT BOOT INTO DUMB AUSSIES

 Jocular treatment of latest photos from Aeronautical Correspondent Abra  after a  visit to Dublin's  renowned Irish  seat  of   higher  learning , Trinity  College . 

But first,did you hear the joke about the Irishman who went for a job interview in Australia and was told he  would have to pass an IQ test in order to qualify? The Irishman  asked what  was an  IQ. The employer said that if  a  person had  an IQ of  170 ,he  could  go to university. But a person with a lower  IQ would have trouble tying his shoelaces.  The smart  Irishman then replied  that  was  obviously  the  reason why so many Australians wear thongs. 

Abra's  photos  taken at Trinity College included a series on the  following sculpture  by  Italian  Arnaldo  Pomodoro, born l926.

The above dull  explanatory  sign  says  the bleeding  obvious, that  it is a sphere with  a  sphere . An educated , high IQ  Aussie, a learned   James Cook University student,   would more colourfully  describe it  as   either  Balls , the Welcome Stranger  Nugget  or  the  Big Pecked Pineapple .
