Aussie Bush Etiquette is recognized throughout the civilized world but we all need to be reminded from time to time.
<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p1.Never take an open stubby to a job interview... <O:p</O:p
2.Always identify people in your paddocks before shooting at them. <O:p</O:p
3.It's tacky to take an Esky to church. <O:p</O:p
4.If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets. <O:p</O:p
5.Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to take your Ute and trailer to the funeral. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p
Eating Out:
<O:p</O:p1.When decanting wine from the box, tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to bruise the wine. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p2.If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with only one hand. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p
Entertaining at Home: <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p1.A centrepiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist.. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p2.Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p
Personal Hygiene: <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p1.While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private, using one's OWN Ute keys. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p2.Even if you live alone, deodorant isn't a waste of money. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p3.Extensive use of deodorant can only delay bathing by a few days. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p4.Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no, it alters the taste of finger foods and if you are a woman it can draw attention away from your jewellery. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p
Theatre/Cinema Etiquette: <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p1.Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the movie ends. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p2.Refrain from yelling abuse at characters on the screen.Tests have proven they can't hear you. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p
Weddings: <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p1.Livestock is a poor choice for a wedding gift. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p2.For the groom, at least, rent a tux.A tracksuit with a cummerbund and a clean football jumper can create a tacky appearance.
<O:p<O:p3.Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for the occasion.
<O:p<O:p
Driving Etiquette:
<O:p<O:p1.Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if your gun's loaded and the roo's in your rifle sight. <O:p<O:p
2.When entering a roundabout, the vehicle with the largest roo bar doesn't always have the right of way. <O:p<O:p
3.Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
<O:p<O:p</O:p4.When sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it's impolite to ask her to bring back beer too.
