Pro Hart, Bushman of the Bush
Artist Pro Hart died recently, and his funeral was covered on the ABC news tonight. He did a lot of his work in the bush, probably, because he was referred to as "the brushman of the bush". Or at least, that's what he was meant to have been called. I'm pretty sure news-reading chick Alicia Gorey (or whatever her name is) mis-read the prompt, because it sounded as if she called him "the bushman of the bush". Which, although it seems a bit of a "duh" thing to say, is fair enough; I defy anyone to point out the faulty logic in that statement.
For some reason it reminded me of the time I heard someone relating a story about how they'd seen one of those steel orb things that people ride motorbikes around in, which had been thoughtfully dubbed "The Death-Defying Sphere of Death".
They were probably lying but why spoil a good story with the truth, as my mate Trev would say.
