A: "Bureau of Boyfriends" is a fictitious organization within this joke that is apparently responsible for providing boyfriends to people. The joke is that the organization made a mistake ("there was a mix-up") and in reality the author himself was supposed to become the boyfriend of his daughter, rather than her biological father.

I deployed my Bureau of Boyfriends mix-up line = I used my joke about a mistake at the Bureau of Boyfriends

A: The truth is I don’t know why. I’m not exactly sure of all the grammatical terms (Australians are lucky if they know what a noun, verb and adverb are...we only find about all the rest if we study a foreign language).

The bureau issues fire weather warnings when the conditions of the weather forecast are likely to be dangerous.
