Re: questions asked about Australia
Nyuk nyuk. Very good. I've heard most of these. The "chip on shoulder" is interchangeable with other parts of the world..French to Belgians, Americans to Canadians, Japanese to Koreans and of course the English to Welsh, Scots etc. But it's good to hear a few new ones.

Q. Is it really true that you can catch a kangaroo like a taxi in Australia?
