"Quite delightful, thank you."
I recall being in New Zealand years ago and noting that about half of all Kiwi humor was at the expense of Aussies - that's the first Kiwi joke I've heard here.
BTW, I was walking on a beach today in Freycinet (Fry - sin -eh?) National park and a couple of sea kayakers pulled up - from Boulder of all things. NOAA researcher currently working on American Samoa and over here for a couple weeks off.
GoodNewsWeek (sort of like Wait, Wait but spoken in Australian, much more rowdy, and on TV) made quite a lot of fun of the American poll that found that 1/3 of native-born Americans would not be able to pass the US citizenship test (even those real applicants who spoke no English are reported to have done better than Sarah Palin). About 1/4 of all the jokes tonight were about Palin.
"What's the One Thing Americans don't know about America?"
"That there are places other than America."
What would you like to give William & Kate for a wedding present?"
"A job."
Lionel Richie was the American of the 8 guest/contestants- pretty funny. Didn't know he did funny.
Global warming may just give Tasmanias a chance to see what it feels like to wear shorts.
