I can't decide...humor.

I can't decide if they deliberately worded this article this way or not. A difference in usage of the language maybe. Humorous nonetheless.


"Brothel barbies woo taxi trade"

"Cabbies: fringe benefits."


"THE battle between Brisbane brothels is beefing up."

""Come along and have a burger and some great Xmas presents," the electronic message flashed on taxi drivers' screens."


"EightyEight recently staged an early morning sausage sizzle, which ran until dawn in a park for late night cab drivers and the brothel now plans to regularly throw a bit of meat on the barbecue."

"It was very well received and because the drivers do such a great job we plan to repeat the exercise regularly," a spokesman for EightyEight said yesterday."

If I were a taxi driver over there, my SO would definitely be giving me a few playful pokes in the ribs about it. Shed probably ask me "did they sizzle your sausage ok hon"?:)

Edited to add link.
