Honorary Dickhead

No good deed goes unpunished. It’s one of those rules that is disproved by the exception.

Being nice to one’s family (for example) by attending a niece’s graduation at the ANU, only to find out that:

(a) by some miracle, 7 tickets to the event were obtained instead of the usual 2, so I couldn’t wait outside in the bar. And,

(b) Kevin Rudd was receiving an honorary degree and was also the guest speaker.

Kev drove me to sleep within two minutes, but not before I heard recycled rumours of impending doom. 

(Sotto Voce) Kev’s the man to fix it.
