Nothing to talk about today ..... Just getting all Aussie for Australia Day. Enjoy.
OK, let's start off with ............
You know you're an Australian when :-
You believe that stubbies can be either drunk or worn
You pronounce "Melbourne" as "Mel-bin"
You believe that the letter "L" in Australia is optional, and it's perfectly OK to call it "Straya"
You think "Wooloomaloo" is a perfectly reasonable name for a place
You're secretly proud of our killer wildlife
You believe that it makes perfect sense for a country to have a $1 coin twice as big as a $2 coin
You understand that "Wagga Wagga" can be abbreviated to 'Wagga" but "Woy Woy" will never be just "Woy"
Beetroot with your hamburger - of course
You wear Ugg boots outside the house
You believe that the more you shorten someone's name, the more you like them
You understand that "excuse me" can sound rude, but "'scuse me" is always polite
You know what it's like to swallow a fly, occasionally via your nose
You know it's not summer until your steering wheel is too hot to handle and a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron
You know how to abbreviate every word. all of which usually end in "o" - arvo, muso, garbo, lezzo, milko, servo, smoko, rego, speedo, righto etc etc
You know that there is a universal place called "Woop Woop" located in the middle of nowhere
Believe it or not, these questions are real and were posted on an Australian tourism site (God I wish I could reply!!)
1. Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (From USA)
Just depends on how much you've drunk
2. Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, so how do the
plants grow? (UK)
We import plants fully grown and then sit back and watch them die.
3. I want to walk from Perth to Sydney. Can I just follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden)
Sure, it's only three thousand miles. Take lots of water.
4. Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden)
So it's true what they say about Swedes?
5. It is imperative that I find the names and addresses of places to contact for a stuffed
porpoise. (Italy)
Let's not touch this one.
6. Are there any ATMs (Cash Machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of where
they are located particularly in Brisbane, Cairns, Harvey Bay and Townsville. (UK)
You had a slave didn't you? and he or she died? Riiiiiiight.
7. Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA)
A-FRI-CA is the big triangle shaped continent South of Europe. AUS-TRA-LIA is that
big island in the Pacific which does not ...... Oh forget it. Every Tuesday night at
Kings Cross. Come naked.
8. Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)
Face South and then turn 90 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send
further directions.
9. Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK)
Why? Just use your fingers like we do.
10. Can you send me the Vienna Boy's Choir schedule? (USA)
AUS-TRI-A is that quaint little country bordering GER-MAN-Y, which is ........... oh
forget it. The Vienna Boy's Choir plays every Tuesday night at Kings Cross, straight
after the hippo racing. Come naked.
11. Do you have perfume in Australia? (France)
No, we don't need it.
12. I have developed a new product that is named The Fountain of Youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA)
Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.
13. Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK)
You're a British politician, right?
14. Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is smaller
than the male population? (Italy)
Yes. Gay nightclubs.
15. Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France)
Only at Christmas.
16. Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round? (Germany)
We are a peaceful civilization of vegan hunter gatherers. Milk is illegal.
17. Please send me a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense rattlesnake
serum. (USA)
Rattlesnakes live in AM-ERI-CA where you come from. All Australian snakes are
perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets.
18. I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget it's name. It's a
kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)
It's called a Drop Bear because they drop out of trees and eat the brains of
anyone walking underneath them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself
with human urine before you go out walking.
19. Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)
Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.
.
20. I was in Australia in 1969 on R & R and would like to contact the girl I dated
while I was staying at Kings Cross. Can you help? (USA)
Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour.
And finally, you are only a real fair dinkum Aussie if you support Aussie Rules football, however ....
The 2015 AFL competition is likely to be cancelled according to a leaked document.
Under Anti Terrorism laws, the Bombers are banned.
New Industrial legislation rules out the Dockers and the Avian Flu epidemic is wreaking havoc with the Crows, Eagles, Hawks, Magpies and Swans.
Any transfers to the Kangaroos, Cats, Lions, Dogs and Tigers must now be quarantined for at least 12 months.
Religious vilification laws mean that, legally, no-one can support the Demons and the Saints.
This leaves only the Blues, Power, Suns and Giants, and in all honesty, who really wants to barrack for them anyway????
Have a great Aussie Day everyone. Barbeque like you've never barbequed before. xxxxx
