Jim thanked Tracey.

 

He had a tricky maths conundrum.

Three friends went out for pizza. Pizzas cost $10 each which they paid to the cashier. While they’re eating, the manager rushed out and apologised for the supreme being not as supreme as it should be, so he gave them an on the spot refund of five one dollar coins.
So they split up the first three coins, so, instead of paying $10 for the pizza they only paid nine - multiplied by three is 27, but hang on  - there’s only two coins left.
What happened to the other dollar to make up to 30?

The accountants in the Club were quick to blame the tax man,

but personally, I think our President may have a bit of a side hustle going on.

Sergeant Richard - Let the cat out of the bag by inviting Warryn to tell a truckie joke, and a barrage of sick and terrible jokes was unleashed.  Czechoslovakians were particularly outraged as they may have been the only country not specifically mentioned.

Fortunately my notes were too unreadable to fully chronicle the episode in the Reel.
