    -----Lesson from an actual scientific experiment

    Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go
    to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana.

    As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all the other monkeys with cold
    water. After a while, another monkey makes the attempt with same result,
    all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

    Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs.

    To his shock, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and
    attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

    Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new
    one.

    The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

    Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth,
    then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is
    attacked.

    Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not
    permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating
    of the newest monkey. After replacing all of the original monkeys, none of
    the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water.

    Nevertheless, No monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the
    banana.

    Why not?

    Because as far as they know that is the way it has always been done around
    here.

    And that, my fellow monkeys, is how politicians operate....

    THEREFORE, WE HAVE TO GET RID OF ALL THE INCUMBENT MONKEYS SO THERE WILL BE A NEW APPROACH TO GETTING THE BANANA'S


    As Arte Johnson used to say....... Very interesting. I'll have to think about this.

    The Queen ??? No way !!!! She wouldn't be able to pick her own underwear
    No, we have our own system of Government here that's run by Aussies. We have a Governor General, but just like the Queen, he's just a figurehead who does nothing but go to lunches.
