Getting the Last Word

Good morning all.

G'day then.

Funny, he don't look Australian...(not that I know what an Australian looks like)

They look like crocodiles without a snout, yep, that's esactly how you'd describe an Australian. Nice folks relly, they don't bite.

I do.

Yeah, and aspvenom has never met my relatives in Tapperoo either.

and I bloody do, too, mate!

G'day, the rest of you!

Taperoo, eh?

We could have called in on them for a cuppa! Think well of you, do they?

They are first cousins whom I've never met. Son and daughter of my father's only brother, my uncle, who emigrated to Oz soon after WW 2, sometime between 1945 and 1950. My cousins were born there. I've never been to Oz and far as I know they haven't visited the USA. We drop each other the occasional e-mail greeting.

Taperoo is a looong way away.

We didn't bite each other, though, did we?

Dlowan's squeal and Margo's meow is much worse than their bite.

Perhaps. But I'd make no large bets on it.

Neither would I.

Well advised, that! I wouldn't trust me not to bite a stranger, and...they don't get any stranger than.....

Andy...I think you should come and visit...it's not far from your place, and it's all downhill!

Well, yes, Margo, downhill it is. But I do get seasick.

They have help for that.

I suppose I should really post this on the bad jokes thread, but your comment reminded me so here goes:

This fellow had been trying to seduce this young woman for a long time. She finally indicated a willingness to cooperate but on one condition -- he had to take her on an ocean cruise. He said, no prob, consider it done, we sail on the next departure date, etc.

Small problem. He'd been to sea once and knew that he was very susceptible to sea sickness. He went to his local drug store and ordered (1)a thick packet of condoms and (2) a bottle of anti-nausea meds. The drug store clerk looked at him in pity and said, "Look, if it makes you sick, why do you do it?"

It look like I am going to get the last word at last..........happy days are here.

Oh?
