Proud to be an Aussie

ONLY 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 A 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.

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 can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in Australia ... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
Only in Australia ... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.
Only in Australia ... 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 in 2000 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 finally.........

In 2000 eight Aussies cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.

Don't know many Supermarkets that do prescriptions mate, mine's got a deli counter at the back.

its a joke...

Not yet, but it came close to happening until Abbott put a stop to it. Article

Sad thing is, it's not only in Aus that you can get grief for flying your own counties flag!

It's not only in Aus, all those thing happen in England and America too.

And I'm still unsure about the 9v battery on the tongue either. 9v and bugger all amps isn't exactly dangerous, and kids have been daring mates to do this for decades. If it was a serious risk there would be far more deaths and warnings/design changes. Oh, and it never did me any harm

It might not be about the amps, but the shock, then hitting ya head on something when freaking out.

:lol: @ last 4 posts, oops I bumped my head on the smoke alarm snooze button testing the battery.

Oh it's a snooze button, and there was me thinking it was to set the clock

humorous word of warning from my youth:

NEVER, repeat, NEVER put a 9v battery between the top and bottom teeth of a mouth with braces!

Always wanted to try that with my ex, but for some reason, she wouldnt let me
