They actually signal both Red (DON'T WALK) and green (WALK) with sound and vibration. Quite smart, unlike some public servants (I thought all the drongos actually worked at Centrelink).
Quote from Department of Transport and Main Roads Queensland;
"Some pedestrian push buttons also have an audio and tactile (touch) component to them. These are the push buttons -called audio tactile push buttons - that emit a beep beep sound. Visually impaired people can use the steady beep beep sound (homing signal) to locate the push buttons. When it is time to cross the road the push buttons produce a series of fast beeps.
The face plate of the audio tactile push buttons also physically pulse in time with the audio sounds produced providing the tactile part of the push button."

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked: "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"

She responded: "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked: "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"

She again replied: "Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him".
The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench, and, in a very quiet voice, said:

"If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair."


And a few for Uni;
I witnessed a jail break and I saw a midget climb the fence. As he jumped down he sneered at me and I thought, well that's a little condescending.

My friend was recently crushed by a pile of books. He's only got his shelf to blame.

A pickpocket robbed a midget. How low can you get.

The midget chef was fired because the steaks were too high.

If PC jokes were to be banned there would not be many funny ones left. At least I did not use the 'D' word -as in Snow White and the seven little people.

A mate of mine has two tickets for this year's AFL Grand Final.
Box seats plus accommodation.... but he didn't realise when he bought them that this is going to be on the same day as his wedding - so he can't go.
If you're interested and want to go instead of him, it's at St Peter's Church in Toorak Rd. Toorak at 3.00pm. Her name is Louise. She's moody but nice.

A courier up Gulargambone way has just been sent to deliver a package to a place he's never been to before, on the western side of the town.

He arrives at the address and sees a big sign marked ''Beware of the parrot!'' nailed to a tree. Looking down the garden path, he spies, sure enough, a parrot sitting on its perch.

With a little chuckle to himself, and without a worry in the world, he opens the gate and walks into the garden. He gets as far as the parrot's perch, when suddenly it calls out, ''Brutus, attack!''

This pretty well sums it up. What think you RG?
