I thought the Aussie Haka was an Aussie patting all his pockets and chanting "bugger, I must have left my wallet at home" when its his turn to shout a round for his Kiwi mates.

The Poms have a good war gesture if they want to use it. When the Scots captured the famous longbow men they used to cut off the first two fingers of their right hand so they couldn't use the bow again. Longbowmen before a battle used to raise two fingers which said "Come and get these if you can."

Wonder how the kiwis would react to that war salute?

Jerry ,
the Scots did not fight against the English at the Battle of Agincourt (http://hidden-england.netfirms.com/crossed_fingers.htm).
The Hundred Years War was between France and England .

How would we Kiwi react ?
Same as usual mate , we salute back :fingerscrossed: :NZ3:

Point of order here!!
An Aussie doesn't have any Kiwi Mates.

Jock,

Being an ex Pom I do know about Agincourt and Crecy. Just as a Scot knows about Bannockburn but history has no definites, The longer back in time, the more the story varies. The English longbow was first used en mass by Edward the One, the Hammer of the Scots. As to how the salute began is an area of controversy so perhaps it's best we agree to differ.

Let's stay with the jokes.:U:peace:

maybe they'd say, "Come get my right thong if you can!"


Beee-yotch! (wanka)

An 'ex Pom' ?
How exactly did you change your birthplace .

Jerry ,
you don't slide out of it that easily pal . If you do not want to be challenged , check your facts first .
That 'history' you provided does not wash . Give us at least one reference , so it can be looked into .
You came up against a Kiwi history buff , and your joke fell eh :D

[rtfarty]

The kiwis would reply to the two finger salute like they did in Brisbane last night. League world cup final if you aussies have quickly forgotten. Hehehe

Yep , and you introduced the 'history' .

I'm signing off now. I am booked in for heart bypass surgery on Monday morning and have to be at the hospital in an hour.
This is for real, no joke.

Jock, I don't see the words "Battle of Agincourt" mentioned anywhere in Jerry's post. I'm not a history buff though, so it doesn't matter a stuff to me :).

GJ
The salute he wrote about comes from the Battle of Agincourt and
the Hundred Years War .
There maybe an outside chance , a very slim one , that it is a myth .
One thing is for certain , no historian that I can find , of have placed the incident in any battle between Scotland and England .

Who cares where it came from? It is a good yarn and as stated this is a jokes forum.

Get real folks.
