    These questions about Australia were posted on an Australian Tourism
    Website and obviously the answers came from an Aussie Customer Service rep
    (sic).

    1. Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it

    rain on TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK)

    A: Actually, we import all plants fully grown and then just sit

    around watching them die.


    2. Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)

    A: Depends how much you've been drinking


    3. Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the

    railroad tracks? (Sweden)

    A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water...


    4. Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden)

    A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.


    5. Q: It is imperative that I find the names and addresses of

    places to contact for a stuffed porpoise. (Italy)

    A: Let's not touch this one.


    6. Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send
    me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK)

    A: What exactly did your last slave die of?


    7. Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in
    Australia?(USA)

    A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe.

    Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the pacific which does

    not... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in
    Kings Cross. Come naked.


    8. Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)

    A: Face south and then turn 90 degrees.

    Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.


    9. Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK)

    A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.


    10.Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA)

    A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which

    is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna BoysChoir plays every Tuesday

    night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.


    11. Q: Do you have perfume in Australia? (France)

    A: No, WE don't stink.


    12. Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of

    youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA)

    A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.


    13. Q: Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK)

    A: You are a British politician, right?


    14. Q: Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female

    population is smaller than the male population? (Italy)

    A: Yes, gay nightclubs.

    15. Q: Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France)

    A: Only at Christmas.


    16. Q: Are there killer bees in Australia? (Germany)

    A: Not yet, but for you, we'll import them.


    17. Q: Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year
    round? (Germany)

    A: No, we are a peaceful civilisation of vegan hunter gatherers.

    Milk is illegal.


    18. Q: Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can

    dispense rattlesnake serum. (USA)

    A: Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca which is where YOU come from. All

    Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and

    make good pets.


    19. Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I

    forget its name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)

    A: It's called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out

    of gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them,
    although you

    personally should be safe enough. If you are still worried you can scare
    them off by

    spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.


    21. Q: I was in Australia in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the

    girl I dated while I was staying in Kings Cross. Can you help? (USA)

    A: Yes, but you will have to pay her by the hour, just like last time.


    22. Q: Will I be able to speek English most places I go? (USA)

    A: Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.
