Fwd Fwd Fwd Fwd
I'm cleaning out my email. It has to be done. Why did I keep all these Fwds?
Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. Okay, that's a little amusing. But then they stole these from the "Only in America" Fwd (which I only got about 6 times thanks very much.)
Oh and......
Only in Australia ... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. That's debatable!
Only in Australia ... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people canbuycigarettes at the front. That was a stupid one to copy and paste - supermarkets in Australia aren't allowed to do perscriptions.
Only in Australia ... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke. So many people seem to find this ironic, but there are legitimate reasons to order this way.
Only in Australia ... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters. Banks want our business, not us stealing their pens. What's wrong with that? If they chained down the pens and left the safe doors open, that would be funny.
Only in Australia ... do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage. I'd like to see you pick up a car and walk away with it, or get an insurance company to insure all your junk.
Only in Australia ... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place. Or someone we've been waiting to hear from all day, it goes both ways.
Only in Australia ... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink. Disabled people never watch the practice/recitals of, or pick up/drop off friends and family at skating rinks. It's not allowed, eh?
NOT TO MENTION...
3 Aussies die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue. I've done it. More than once. It won't kill you, okay. It's 9 volts. (It does feel wierd, though.)
58 Aussies are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers. The lazy buggers deserved it.
A massive 543 Aussies were admitted to Emergency in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth. The dentist I could understand, but emergency? Nah.
And finally......... In 2000 eight Aussies cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.
IF YOU'RE PROUD TO BE AUSTRALIAN SEND THIS ON Sentiments like this last one, whether it's true or not, are not what make me a proud Aussie. (Probably not true. 60% of all statistics are made up on the spot you know. 35% of all people know that.)
