"So were your ancestors murderers or thieves?"
While being introduced to someone at a party
"I heard Australians don't clean their houses
because the weather is nice" Interesting logic
"So do you always come to parties and not
speak to anyone" Yes, it's my favorite pastime
"Don't get too comfortable, first in is also
first out" when I told them I'd got a permanent contract and Canon.
"How can you justify the aboriginal situation
in Australia" light dinner party conversation with a complete stranger.
"Do they have bikes in Australia" No, we ride
our pet Kangaroos
"Perhaps you should try recreational
volleyball, our team is full" After trying out for some spazo ladies volleyball team (Division Z or so), when
the organiser had told me they needed players.
"You see Susan, Dutch women are emancipated
and actually work, unlike women in Australia" What the....????
and finally the quote to top all quotes. Picture
it, I'm away from my family at Christmas for the first time ever. The network is busy and my parents
can't get through to me by phone, I stare a bit pathetically out of the window and hear
"Well, you know what they say Susan, out of sight is out of heart!"
The mind boggles.....
