A fair dinkum Aussie! You can't ask better than that!
I've a friend in Sydney. He came for a visit and brought me a jar of vegemite. He said, "Aw don't be a sheila, eat it with a spoon." I did that. I won't do it again.
I bought cotton candy. He called it fairy floss which made me chuckle.
I told him we paved our roads with Asphalt. He asked if we spelled it
A-S-S F-A-U-L-T and proceeded to laugh til he cried. It seemed to make a
great impression on him. He said that downunder, they pave their roads with
Ash Felt.
I showed him a jar of jelly (jam with the fruit removed). He held it up to the light and said he wasn't eating anyting he could see through.
But he was willing to drink beer, even though he could see through that. So we sat on the asphalt in front of my house, drinking beer and singing "Waltzing Matilda" 'til the neighbors told us to "Pipe down!" Wonder what he made of that. |
