Funny Story

Hey everyone!

I have arrived safely to Australia.

With the blistering 40+ degree weather, the jet leg, the 6 am run every morning on top of two more work outs is running me down already. So much for youth being invincible

Unfortunately I have come down with a bit of a cold. Oh well. I am in Australia and that is all that matters.

Now for the funny story

I am unsure with how up to date you all are with the cyclone that just hit the Eastern Coast of Australia but it hit hard. The good news is no one died just severe damage done to infrastructure.
The source of Australia's Banana's is actually local. Unfortunately the largest banana plantation's got hit and totally destroyed. The supply of bananas might be out by the end of the month. On top of this, banana prices are expected to triple in the next week.
Now for the funny stuff.

The other day when Mike and I were driving back from the course we heard a couple of jokes on the radio about the banana situation.

"Bananas have become so valuable that Ke$ha is going to start spelling her name with a banana instead of a dollar sign"

"Bruno Mars wants to be a bananaaire"

Say it with an Aussie accent and its ten times better.

Anyways,
I hope you guys are freezing in the great white north!
