Yes, good point, Sheri, but we're a weird mob down here. Here's some more examples:
WE ARE AUSTRALIANS! We, the people of a free nation of blokes, sheilas and the occasional idiot. We come from many lands and although we live in the best country in the world, we reserve the right to bitch about it whenever we like.
We are united in our lust for international recognition. We want to make "no worries, mate" our national phrase, "she'll be right, mate" our national attitude and "Waltzing Matilda" our national anthem. (So what if it's about a sheep-stealing crim who commits suicide??)
Only in Australia can a pizza delivery get to your house faster than an ambulance. Only in Australia do we have bank doors wide open with no security guards or cameras, but chain the pens to the desk. Only in Australia do we shoot and eat the two animals that are on our National Crest.
Even though we might seem a racist, closed-minded, sports-obsessed little people,
at least we feel better for it.
I am, we are, Australian.
