  • ...and now time to stir up the Aussies...

    Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then on the way home, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. Oh and....

    Only in Australia
    - can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance
    - Do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
    - Do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
    - Do banks leave both doors wide open and chain the pens to the counters.
    - Do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.


    NOT TO MENTION

    3 Aussies die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
    58 Aussies are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
    31 Aussies have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
    8 Aussies had serious burns last year trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
    A massive 543 Aussies were admitted to Emergency in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
    And eight Aussies cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.
    And we are proud to be Aussies?

    Oii, Thunder. Dont'ya stir them Aussies up while I'm down here. Scared as it is I am. Bought surf shorts in Aussie colours and a Popeye tee shirt today to blend in. Must get some stubbies soonest too now.
    Some nice Aussie mate gave a bottle of wine, Penfold's Grange, no less. Now I'm worried about my trip home too. No worries? Yeah, right! Piling on, they are.

        And in Australia which supermarkets are those where you can get a prescription filled? None that I'm aware of. Please don't peddle recycled bullshit on the forum - especially incorrect bullshit. Incidentally, on your other post the complement of any of America's carriers is near to or in excess of 5000, and I believe their kitchens churn out 5 meals per day to cater to the various shifts.

        But, don't thet the truth get in the way of a good story eh?

          There will be no pictures taken. None! I still suffer from last time.
          Warm enough! The bloody aircon in my office is working overtime and demanding compensations. Will be on the water tomorrow flaunting me new shorts. Probably scare away them sharks they will, not fond of sharks I'm not. Per

            "Near to or in excess? I believe their kitchens churn out 5 meals per day."
            Would that be 5 meals per day per person or 5 meals per day to allow each person 3 meals per day?

            If you cater to truth, do be more precise. Believe, near to etc. want cut it.

                Not sure why it is up to me to correct the obvious errors in the 'humour'. Clearly that was created by a yank to stir up the euopeans - why would an Aussie be posting it? Is TDU a displaced septic?

                I guess I just don't see the humour in a document that has had the word 'America' deleted and replaced with 'Australia'. We don't do prescription medicines from supermarkets.

                  Truth on the internet? You do have a sense of humour after all.
