Day 26


Australia Day 

& for a little fun & silliness the following comes via FWDitOn.com

MAAAAAATE!
Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a
Belgian beer, then traveling 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 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 on
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
IF YOU’RE PROUD TO BE AUSTRALIAN SEND THIS ON!
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!!!

This is funny... but sadly, most of what you wrote is absolutely true in the US too. LOL! Thanks for your post!

How true is that poem ! LOL

Project 365

2012 . . .
oh dear, only 78 days,
so that'd be an F?

2011 . . .
neglected after 85 days,
it's another F!

2010 . . .
all done,
it's an A+!

2009 . . .
8 weeks of layouts only,
it's an F for fail!



I live in a beautiful part of the world, with glorious ocean views, kangaroos bounding across the hilltops, assorted wildlife (echidnas, cape barron geese etc), birdlife & reptiles (not all nice . . . tiger snakes & copperheads —eek!)
