An oxymoron, on the other hand, is a combination of two contradictory or opposite words. A paradox seems contradictory to the general truth, but it does contain an implied truth. An oxymoron, however, may produce a dramatic effect, but does not make literal sense. Examples of oxymoron are found both in casual conversations and in literature."

This might be a good opportunity for a short sale on Hallmark greeting cards!

Good question Jim and I dunno the answer but the following thoughts might assist in predicting the likely outcomes.

The rabbit fence has been around for decades and it hasn't stopped the easter bunny before so I guess the bunny knows how to hop around it as necessary.

Likewise with the drop bears however please remember the drop bear population was hit hard in the recent (and unprecedented ) bush fires whereas the easter bunny was holed up underground during that stressful time.

Plus the border restrictions will still apply to the drop bears.

Go the easter bunny!

All in all, I reckon the Hallmark sale will be fizzer.

That Easter Bunny better watch out for the virtual epidemic in Australia, Myxomatosis.

For all of our latrine layers, rationalizing loopholes to justify their desire to avoid "stay at home" advice.

A lawyer was on his deathbed in his bedroom, and he called to his wife.
She rushed in and said, “What is it, honey?”
He told her to run and get the bible as soon as possible. Being a religious woman, she thought this was a good idea. She ran and got it, prepared to read him his favorite verse or something of the sort. He snatched it from her and began quickly scanning pages, his eyes darting right and left.
The wife was curious, so she asked, “What are you doing, honey?”
He shouted “I`m looking for loopholes!”

Since no one is allowed to congregate for funerals; instead, people are driving by the cemetery, and honking their horns, in respect.

One man drives by blasting “Another One Bites The Dust”

The family wanted to be mad, but then another car drove by, playing the same song, and another one does, and another one does,

... and another one drives a bus.

I think Gord may post what he likes even if others may not like it.

Baby bird: Mom,why does brother's beak look different than mine?

Mother: It is a secret, so you can't tell anyone, but your brother's adapted.

I was struggling to get my wife’s attention.

So I simply sat down and looked comfortable.

That did the trick.

Since a lot of sports are no longer being televised as much, and some matches postponed, I've compensated by watching the birds in my yard compete over worms.

So far Cardinals 6, Blue Jays 3.
