What's a poor Prime Minister to do? Seems Ms. Gillard is a cool cucumber.
When a salami sandwich was thrown at her, she completely ignored it. Now that's pretty nifty.
But what could be the significance of a salami sandwich throw? Is it a protest? Is it a thank you gesture? After all, it's a salami sandwich and not a rotten tomato.
But since journalists the world over have taken care to publish such startling news, let's analyze for a moment what has happened.
It seems this is not the first sandwich, no siree. It's the second.
Gillard uttered the now famous words: "Let them eat salami". No sorry, she said this : "They must have thought I was hungry."
A cool cat, she is.
Earlier this month, a sandwich containing Australia's culinary mainstay, Vegemite, was thrown at her during another school trip.
The suspect in the latest sandwich throw has not been apprehended, although the investigation continues apace. Salami sniffing dogs have been brought to the scene to ensure the felonious student is brought to justice.
It seems the sprightly Prime Minister should stay away from schools for some time, as it seems the new sandwich throwing fad is taking hold. Who knows what could be lobbed at her next time? Pizza? Mangoes. The possibilities are endless.
But let's be honest: is this really news? Should we really honor the sandwich thrower with international coverage? This writer says: Not.
