I'm glad you said 'allegedly'.
OMG JUSTIN, what a cack! thanx for posting this. Consider it officially stolen hehe
Loved that the first time I saw it Justin.
Yes, it's true, Aussies, on the whole, don't readily tolerate stupidity and ignorance (especially from visiting foreigners)and often do meet it with dry sarcastic humour, I can well believe it all.
Even if the responses weren't actually verbal, I am 100% certain that's what they were thinking and would love to have said!!!
That's what I love about that part of Aussie humour. Dry sarcasm, with often a statement of the bloody obvious.
And I love your humour too Justin, keep it coming, and have a great Christmas, it's nearly upon us!
Greg in Adelaide.
COOP. . .you mean everything in Aussie Land isn't upside down?!
Oh my. . .you mean I have to change that too?!
Oh well. . . .
My daughter told some tourists whilst she was working on a cruise ship out of Miami that my job was a "shoower" the to tourist asked what that involved so she told them that it was my job to get up at 4:30am every day and shoo all the Kangaroos off the Harbour Bridge to make way for the daily traffic. And yes they beleived her as they kept asking more about the job... I think they were Americans lol
I love the "shooer" story.
As to being upside down, we are if you consider Oz to be relative to the north pole. But out there in endless space, there is no up or down. When I see paintings of saints gazing "up" to the heavens, I often think of God saying,"not over there, you bloody dill... over here!"
