The Aussie Way? |
This Chinese man moved into his new home in Australia.
His Aussie neighbour, Jack, being the nice Aussie bloke that he was,decided to make him feel welcome. So he went next door to wish him welcome.
He was shocked to see the Chinese man in his nice backyard chasing ten chickens around like mad. "Must be a Chinese custom" he thought to himself.
So he decided that he could put off the welcome until a later date and went back home.
The next day, he decided he was going to welcome the Chinese man.
When he looked through his window, he saw the Chinese man urinate into a cup and drink it. "Must be a Chinese custom" he thought to himself.
Deciding he could put off the welcome till tomorrow, he went on with other stuff.
The third day, he was determined he had to welcome the Chinese man.
At his gate, he saw the Chinese man with his ear pressed against a cow's big fat butt.
He became angry and went up to the Chinese man and yelled in his face,
"I'm sorry mate, I want to wish you a welcome, but I cannot stand your crazy Chinese customs!"
The Chinese man looked confused and answered. "Sorry sir, I think you are mistaken. These are actually Australian customs. I was told, to become an Australian, you have to chase chicks, drink piss, and listen to bullshit." |

Thanks. It did make me smile.
You've got to feel sorry for people trying desperately to fit in. They can't possibly understand what the heck we're saying to them, most of the time. |

Very good!
Can you imagine if we tell this joke in The USA? "chase chicks"? drink piss"? They would be horrified to think people could talk like that about women and to talk about beer using such words...so.... politically incorrect and vulagarity!
Just goes to show - us Aussies can laugh at ourselves and that is why we are such a laidback bunch. We don't take everything so seriously.
(Not that all American are humourless of course. But - as a whole, I only wish they would lighten up a bit) |
