So did I - unless - did the Simpson's episode, which I saw, mention the toilet water thing?
It is a common question.
Really?
Yes, it's a running gag in that particular episode. They even devise a special toilet in the American embassy in which the water flushes "the American way". The main reason I asked is because i know seed likes Futurama and other adult ( in the grown up and not pornographic sense) cartoons, I was wondering if the idea came from that.
Mebbe Seed shall elucidate?
I tell you, that Simpsons episode was the first thing I thought of when I trodded into this thread, only to step into a full-blown Aussie hijack.
I get asked that damn question all the time about that toilet water...
and if we have kangaroos as pets (once they have got over the Australian=Kangaroo supposedly)
or maybe kangaroos do jump around in the CBD...?
Those of you bored watching The Matrix, might want to look closer, maybe there is a stray kangaroo hopping about there in the background?
Only in the Olympics - welcome ben - cute avatar.
I prefer Je Reviens toilet water to the cologne.
<a hiccup instead of a hijack>

Or japan? Maybe there it goes

Talking of water and considering we are deteriorating into jokes, here is a joke, has water in it and Australian slang spelling:
A monkey is sitting in a tree smoking a joint when a lizard walks past and looks up and says to the monkey
"hey! what are you doing?"
The monkey says "smoking a joint, come up and have some."
So the lizard climbs up and sits next to the monkey and they smoke a few joints.
After a while the lizard says his mouth is 'dry' and is going to get a drink from the river.
The lizard is so stoned that he leans too far over and falls into the river.
A Crocodile sees this and swims over to the lizard and helps him to the side, then asks the lizard,
"whets the matter with you?"
The lizard explains to the crocodile that he was sitting smoking a joint with the monkey in the tree, got too stoned and then fell into the river
while taking a drink.
The crocodile says he has to check this out and walks into the jungle, finds the tree were the monkey is sitting, finishing another joint, and he looks up and says "hey!"
The Monkey looks down and says "faaaaaaark... how much water did you drink?!!"
Good one, ben, thank you!
no problem, it was the only joke email I have read lately, apart from the blind guy about to tell a blonde joke in a women only bar
Benc...
You mean the French have finally got past that Australia = kangaroo thing. I've been staggered at how prevalent it is.
Bit insular - the French!
very insular the French. Hideous how pompous they can be. It is not a myth.
The Italians can't seem to get past the Kangaroo thing, the French have grasped the concept.
