Oh I bet you made all that up except the hippo races 'cos I went and saw them. Funny when I was naked the organizers grabbed me and put me in one of the races as they thought I had escaped out of one of the pens.
Also the drop bears are true as one dropped on me when I was on holidays in the Northern Territory. Fortunately I hadn't made in time to the toilet and I had a accident so the bear stayed away from me...whew was I lucky.
Those Aussie answers are even better than the stupid questions! About the kangaroos...
I read this somewhere on the net long ago, is it true?
Kangaroos stop and look in both directions before crossing a road. Then they leap into the road, regardless of whether a vehicle is coming or not.
An excellent and informative(?) post, Peter.
I'll try that for Texas, it will be about the same as yours only bigger. And we have cattle instead of kangeroos.
BTW, we are back now. Thanks for checking on Billy's posts. His Dad's roses are wonderful, maybe we could 'rustle' one.

I've always wondered how hard it is to box a kangaroo. I think I could do it. I've got a pretty good left jab. But the only time I tried boxing I got knocked down by my little brother.
Peter ~ Those Olympic questions were a riot. My favorite though was the answer... "Do you speak English NOW? ~ There were a few times while we were there (in OZ) that I WONDERED if I did! ~ jb///
"Which way is north in Australia?" ROFLMAO!!!
Perfect post for the end of a week from hell. I needed a good laugh.
Oh my, and as a teacher I used to say, "Now boys and girls there are no dumb questions." Boy was I wrong. Thank you for the laughs even though I had trouble understanding the answers given to my landsman here in the states.
Great, Peter...it's good to have a laugh...thanks. :)
A tourist from the US asked me once at one of the restaurants I was cooking at..."My son just can't wait to come to Australia and ride his bike along the Great Barrier Reef"...
I wonder if they've located his body yet? ;)
