or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch
American shows on a Japanese TV.
Oh and...... Only in <st1:country-region><st1>Australia</st1> </st1:country-region> ... can a pizza get to your
house faster than an ambulance.
Only in <st1:country-region><st1>Australia</st1></st1:country-region>... do supermarkets make sick people walk
all the Way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while
healthy People can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in <st1:country-region><st1>Australia</st1></st1:country-region> ... do people order double cheeseburgers,
large Fries and a DIET coke.
Only in <st1:country-region><st1>Australia</st1></st1:country-region>... do banks leave both doors open and
chain the Pens to the counters
Only in <st1:country-region><st1>Australia</st1></st1:country-region> .... do we leave cars worth thousands of
dollars on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the
garage.
Only in <st1:country-region><st1>Australia</st1></st1:country-region> ... do we use answering machines to screen
calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone
we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
Only in <st1:country-region><st1>Australia</st1></st1:country-region> ... are there disabled parking places in

NOT TO MENTION...3 Aussies die each year testing if a 9v
battery works on their tongue.
142 Aussies were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins
from new shirts.
58 Aussies are injured each year by using sharp knives
instead of screwdrivers.
31 Aussies have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas
tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
8 Aussies had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper
with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Aussies were admitted to Emergency in the last
two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
And finally.... In 2000 eight Aussies cracked their skull
whilst throwing up into the toilet
