Famous Quotes

[Rossluck]

Has anyone heard of the old Speewah quotes? The Speewah is a mythical cattle/sheep station in Australian folklore where everything is "the biggest". I love them, here's a couple drawn from memory:

The shearing shed was so big that it took two men and a boy just to see it....

There was a man who worked there that was so tall that he had to climb a ladder just to have a shave....

There was a Kelpie there that was so fast that every third time it ran around a mob of sheep it had to jump over itself ....


Well, I like'em
