Raising the Titanic.

On our kitchen table, three hundred and ninety seven press-out cardboard pieces have been successfully assembled into a scale model of the Titanic. The model was completed yesterday morning, just before we voted in the federal election, visited the local library then played a few pool games at Potters. There was no cardboard iceberg in the model kit and someone unfamiliar with the story would simply marvel at a mighty ship. Unlike collisions with icebergs in the dark, the election result was widely anticipated and no serious injuries have been reported. SS Australia has a new captain and adjusted course to starboard.
