I wonder whether Jesus goes away for the long weekend.

This showed up in my WhatsApp thing today.
It qualifies to be added to the New Testament- the Gospel according to Terry.
🤷🏻♂️I don’t get ppl who travel on Easter weekend….it’s like woohoo a whole extra 48 hours off 😱😱😱 let’s pack everything we own, 17 kids, the canoe, the bbq, pack enough food to feed the whole of a 3rd world nation for a month, the bikes, the dog, 18 fishing rods and Grandma in the 4 tonne LandCruiser we don’t know how to drive…. then we’ll leave early to beat the traffic, ermmmm 10k out of town no… every other numpty with a BCF membership got the same idea 🙄 oh well nevermind nothing like 9 hours in a traffic jam with screaming bored kids fighting over the DVD player and mashing half chewed lollies on the carpet while singing “Let it Go!” out of tune for the 19th time…
11.5 hours from home you’ve covered 43.6 kilometres and your cheese is about to slide off your cracker 😤 so you pull into a Service Centre packed with 9753 other equally mental fools, park sideways across 6 spots in the truck section coz you know the Toyota runs on diesel so it’s a ‘truck ‘ isn’t it??
You all pile out of the big lorry ignoring the cold stares from the guy trying to park his 80 foot bdouble for a regulation break, send the kids to line up at Maccas for 57 minutes then still have no fkn clue what they want by the time you reach the server 🤨…. it doesn’t matter what the stinking rugrats order anyway coz 11 minutes later the wrappers are floating across the carpark, the soft serve is on the leather seats and the 9 year old has pickles in her hair and is screaming ‘you’re a poo poo head!” at the 7 year old who refuses to sit forwards or put his seat belt on 👊🏻….
25.8 hours after leaving home you reach the campsite a whole 103 ks away only to discover there’s no spots left within 17 kilometres of the beach or a toilet so you set up camp with the brown snakes 🐍 nowhere near the neighbors who promised to hold a spot for you 🙄🤦🏻♂️…..
You spend the next day and a half listening to half pissed Shazza’s yelling “JAYDEN!!! Stop hitting your brother!!” and mumbling to your mates around the campfire about ‘serenity’ and ‘the good life’…. 🔥
9am Monday you’re thinking prison food can’t be that bad surely??? If I just bury them deep enough nobody will find them??
You say fuk this I’ll leave early and beat the traffic while visions of the 23 hour journey down here flash through your head 💭🤔
So you pack the whole shebang back into the Pickle mobile along with the wet dog and sunburnt kids whining “weeeere hungreeeeeee!!!” , pull out onto the packed highway, find another Maccas to appease the brats. fill the ‘truck’ at $1.91 a litre and head the fuk home with the other 19.3 million nufftys thinkin abbq at home and a sleep in would have been a good idea!! 🚙💨💨💨💨 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

Heading off anywhere on a long weekend particularly Easter, has no appeal to me whatsoever. Yet if I was to visit my father in Hornsby, there will be plenty of traffic and driving over the M1 the view would be bumper to bumper one way or the other depending on the day.
One thing for shore is the wallopers will be out there policing those travelling a kilometre over whilst letting those doing 30 over go, not to mention plenty of illegal parking to achieve that.

I just read the headline and missed the brilliant graphic. For some reason it reminds me of Singapore but with a Hong Kong flavour. So, many thanks, Yvonne 😄
And I noticed another one I missed saying Putin just scraped in with 101% of the vote !! Hilarious but not in Russia or the Ukraine.

Progress has replaced the traditional 300k drive into a steady stream of undipped headlights in an overloaded holden with no stops and a damn good thrashing to dissuade any potential thought of dissent from the back seat.
Praise the lord of the bunny eggs!
