Only In Australia...

[tr3nt]

(found on another forum)

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.

Oh and...... Only in Australia ... can a pizza get to your house
Faster than an ambulance.

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 drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

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.

Only in Australia ... are there disabled parking places in front of a
skating rink.

NOT TO MENTION...

3 Aussies die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.

142 Aussies were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new
shirts.

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.

And the skate rink, dont know any one who calls it that.

Also the first statement couldn’t be more wrong on this forum, which is devoted to an Aussie built and designed (up until recently) car. Not to mention the most frequent meet point for the Vics is at one of the most Aussie pubs in Melbourne (Hallam).

skating rink.
