  • Australia!

    These questions about Australia were posted on an Australian Tourism
    Website and obviously the answers came from a fellow Aussie.


    1. Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never
    seen it rain on TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK)
    A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit
    around watching them die.


    2. Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)
    A: Depends how much you've been drinking


    3. Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad
    tracks? (Sweden)
    A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water...


    4. Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden)
    A: So its true what they say about Swedes.


    5. Q: It is imperative that I find the names and addresses of places to
    contact for a stuffed porpoise. (Italy)
    A: Let's not touch this one.


    6. 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)
    A: What did your last slave die of?


    7. Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia?
    (USA)
    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.


    8. Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)
    A: Face south and then turn 90 degrees. Contact us when you get here and
    we'll send the rest of the directions.


    9. Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK)
    A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.


    10. Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA)
    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.


    11. Q: Do you have perfume in Australia? (France)
    A: No, WE don't stink.


    12. 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)
    A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.


    13. Q: Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK)
    A: You are a British politician, right?


    14. Q: Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population
    is smaller than the male population? (Italy)
    A: Yes, gay nightclubs.


    15. Q: Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France)
    A: Only at Christmas.


    16. Q: Are there killer bees in Australia? (Germany)
    A: Not yet, but for you, we'll import them.


    17. Q: Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year
    round? (Germany)
    A: No, we are a peaceful civilisation of vegan hunter gatherers. Milk is
    illegal.


    18. Q: Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense
    rattlesnake serum. (USA)
    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.


    19. 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)
    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.


    20. 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)
    A: Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour.


    21. Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)
    A: Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.
    According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...

      People ( from the states usually) come to canada in the summertime asking where the ski resorts are.. .Just keep going north ( we easily get 30 - 35C in the summer here )
      ( OK so it may just be a rumour, as I never heard it myself )

              I've actually witnessed people arriving at the toronto airport in july with all their skiing gear. Boy, were they ever shocked

              Even better is watching all the american consultants we had up here once pounding the mountain dew, and wondering why they were always so tired. I never knew the dew was caffeinated in the states. Up here, only colas are allowed to have caffeine, so mountain dew is completely caffeine free. They switched to Jolt, and all was well.

                Yup, Just like this friendly little critter...

                Although the Inland Taipan has the most potent venom of any land snake on earth, it is usually quite shy and has a placid disposition

                    So does the Massasauga rattlesnake of Michigan, but every once in a while someone gets bitten.

                    Good thing they're fairly placid given that their venom is more toxic than that of the water moccasin or the copperhead, but thankfully a bit less toxic than the rest of the rattlesnake family.

                    They're found thorughout the mitten part of Michigan, but not in the upper penninsula.

                            whereas the king brown although not very common is very large and agressive, and the poisonis not to far off a taipan..
                            It is not unsusal for someone who gets bitten by a snake to be bittin up 10 times by the same snake......

                            edit: and some details on drop bears (koalas are bad enough)
