MARRIED COUPLE
Recruiting staff gaped when a young couple, apparently from the “Never-Never” entered the office and said they wanted to enlist. Addressing the man, the recruiting officer replied with an appraising look. “We can enlist you for the army but your wife will have to apply to a women’s organisation.” Bush-bred sighed. Aw, that’s no good he drawled, “All the shearer blokes up our way reckon th’ wife’s the best cook they’ve met and I’m not bad meself with th’ dough. * Seeing y’ going to enlist women for our ’ome army, we thought of trying for a married-couple’s job.”
