The Aussie Humour Thread

[Alpo]

10 (9) = 90 ÷ 5 = 18, + 32 = 50

 

So 10c is 50f. I'm a Florida kid, and I not only wear shorts when it's 50°, I frequently don't wear a shirt or shoes. Unless the wind's blowing. That windchill will get you.

 

30 (9)=270, ÷ 5 = 54, + 32 = 86

 

30 C is 86 f? And Aussie kids wear coats when it's 86°??

 

That's actually why this American doesn't understand the meme.

Actually..........Aussie's (just not kids, but not me I wear shorts all year round like Alpo above, but I respect folks eyesight and their appetites....so always wear a shirt in public) anyway back to Aussies.....it's been a LONG STINKING HOT SUMMER ....  you know that heat when ya' don't think you can handle it for much longer and you're about to go troppo because it ain't getting down below 29°C (85°F) at night and the humidity is hovering around 98% and you look at the forecast and the next 7 days is expected to have highs of 40°C (105°F) with the UV maxed out and you're thinking of that new crop of sun cancers that your skin specialist is going to love you for so he can fly first class to Europe for his holidays......

Well AS SOON as it hits 18°C (65°F) you'll see boofheads wearing North Face jackets and the like and saying "Damn ain't it cold today"

My maternal Grandmother used to use one half an apple to make her "apple" pies;  yep, half an apple and 15 of them bloody choko's .......... (she weren't a good cook)  Bless Her  

 

I'm pretty sure that they was named choko 'cause they'll "choko" a horse ....

Many choko vines, including my Grandmothers, were grown over the outdoor dunny

Or the Deep South.

 

Anybody that's ever been stationed at bases Benning or Polk during the summer can vouch for that.

 

Flint Westwood once told me that the hottest 2 places he'd ever been was Viet Nam and Ft Benning during the summer.

Yeah.  I've always heard that, out of all the lethally toxic animals on the planet, the majority are native to Australia.  Must say, tho, that BabyGirl & SIL took my (then) only grandchild at the age of 3.  Not only did they enjoy & survive, Grandson #1 got allllllllll the peanuts he wanted on flights over & back (so freakin' cute, he was).
