Australia Is Great But People Are Stupid
Are you from Australia? Have you ever been to Australia? Would you like to visit Australia at some point in your life? That’s where Amazing Australia stepped in. They want tourists to come Down Under, but are afraid not everybody understands Aussie lifestyle. So they came up with a campaign where people could submit questions on visiting Australia. So here are the questions and the answers: Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA) Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA) more after the break! Q: Can I pick up my camper van in Auckland and drop it off in Darwin? (Belgium) Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK) Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney – can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden) Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden) Q: It is imperative that I find the names and addresses of places to contact for a stuffed porpoise. (Italy) Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK) Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA) Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK) Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys’ Choir schedule? (USA) Q: Do you have perfume in Australia? (France) Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA) Q: Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK) Q: Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is smaller than the male population? (Italy) Q: Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France) Q: Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round? (Germany) Q: Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense rattlesnake serum. (USA) Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name. It’s a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA) Q: I was in Australia in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I dated while I was staying in Kings Cross. Can you help? (USA) Q: Will I be able to speek English most places I go? (USA)
A: Depends how much you’ve been drinking
A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the pacific which does not… oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked.
A: Sure, take a ferry, change the registration plates from New Zealand to Australian, and find a way to calm down the people you rented it from when they hear where their vehicle has ended up.
A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.
A: Sure, it’s only three thousand miles, take lots of water…
A: So it’s true what they say about Swedes.
A: Let’s not touch this one.
A: What did your last slave die of?
A: Face south and then turn 90 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we’ll send the rest of the directions.
A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.
A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is…oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.
A: No, WE don’t stink.
A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.
A: You are a British politician, right?
A: Yes, gay nightclubs.
A: Only at Christmas.
A: No, we are a peaceful civilisation of vegan hunter gatherers. Milk is illegal.
A: Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca which is where YOU come from. All Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets.
A: It’s called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of gum 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.
A: Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour.
A: Yes, but you’ll have to learn it first.
