There are two glaring errors in these pictures, can you spot them?

You are absolutley correct:-
1. Real Aussies ride roos bareback.
2. Aussie roos roll their own, not smoke filter tips. Aussie kids take their beer straight from the can, no poofy straws for them. :D :D :D

Well, in the first one, the kangaroo seems to have something on his front paws and in the second, the roo appears to be wearing eye shadow.
Oh, and no Australian would drink Fosters. :D

Roo's must display a valid number plate when being ridden on public roads
And roos don't drink from the bottle
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder

A few I didn't spot, mine were:
No one drinks Fosters.
No approved helmet on the roo rider.

the first one should have included a "no war" logo on the opera house as well as some gum trees.. as well as wild dead ones hanging from fences and blown off heads.
the second one was obviously faked for if an aussie had taken the photo then the kid would not be obscuring the roo's tackle whilst he lay in repose.
everyone knows your not supposed to smoke in front of kids too.

Can you get the Harbour bridge in a picture of the Opry house taken from that angle? :confused:
No father worth his salt would allow junior anywhere near a large can of Fosters(Can you still get them?) :D

Come on boys. We've got yanks on this forum. We've also got some Texans. :D How about a reply?
Richard
yes, I know it's in the middle of the night there but that doesn't seem to stop a lot of them.

I wondered about that too but I think you can. Pity really, it'd be a good one to pick on.

The roo is on the footpath. Everyone knows that if you're over 12 you have to ride your roo on the road.

No self-respecting roo rider would wear a baseball cap. The proper headgear is a battered Akubra with dangling corks and a crocodile-tooth hatband (properly soaked in drop-bear repellent, of course).

You certainly can and they're both for sale if you are interested....

1. Hasn't got the knife ("that's not a knife...")
2. You'd never let your roo in the house, let alone sit on the setee. They're a bugger to house-train, and they get roo hairs everywhere.

That's an intersting thought coming from someone with the user name 'aussiecolector'. :D
And it leads to another mistake - every kid knows you can't suck five cent pieces up a straw.

Maybe his parents are training him up to drink real beer one day? :p
And the roo's tail lights were out as well. Plus, everyone knows we ride around in their pouches, not on their backs.

I reckon Jackoh may be onto something. The coathanger looks too big in relation to the opry house. Looks out of proportion to me. The angle looks close though, I dunno, I'm starting to think this photo may not be for real.

Oh ye of little faith, of course its real, I ride a big red roo to work each day and his wife does the housekeeping for SWMBO, that is in between laying on the lounge watching TV, smoking, and slipping the grandkids cans of my beer. :D :D :D
