Obviously being an Island Nation did not keep us immune for long because 'they' 
are now among us  Aussies   
 
Yes, they are here!

                   AUSTRALIAN IDIOT SIGHTINGS.



                        IDIOT SIGHTING 1:


           I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave
           the cashier a $5 note.                                                                                                                   
 >
Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a
dollar coin back.'
She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to
repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're
sorry but we don't do that kind of thing.'
The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in
change.

Do not confuse the people at MacD's in Shepperton Vic.


                   IDIOT SIGHTING 2:

We had to have the garage door repaired.
The repairman told us that one of our problems was that
we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest
one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said,
'NOOO, it's not.  Four is larger than two.'

We haven't used that repairman since.  Happened in Bankstown NSW.


                   IDIOT SIGHTING 3:

I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbour call the local council
to request the removal of the WOMBAT CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason:  'Too many wombats are being hit by cars out
here!  I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
                   Story from Bauple Qld


                  IDIOT SIGHTING 4:

My daughter went to a Mexican takeaway and ordered a taco.
She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.
             From Castle Hill, Sydney ......


                  IDIOT SIGHTING 5:

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport
employee asked,
'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your
knowledge?'

To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would
I know?'
He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

             This happened at Melbourne Airport


                  IDIOT SIGHTING 6:

The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to
cross the street.
I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged'
co-worker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the beeper was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is
red.
Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing
driving?!'

She is a government employee in the Adelaide P.O. SA


                  IDIOT SIGHTING 7:

When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up
our car after a service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working
feverishly to unlock the driver's side door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried
the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'

methinks some are over here.News just in of 2 parties of Australian tourists and incidents in Harrods. The first lot caused a commotion  while complaining that  they could not use the escalator due the fact it stated ''Dogs must Be carried'' and they had none .The second lot even more serious as they are trying to Sue  for Trauma caused by being stuck on  the Escalator for an hour during a power failure

Yep, good jokes - heard 'em all about 2 years ago all set in UK. So, scientific analysis shows it takes 2 years for jokes to get from UK to OZ - so much for the Information Super Highway, it obviously slows down somewhere over the Pacific.

Warning to Australian Mayhemmers _ this is also a joke (some folks take it so seriously)!

Hi Geoff,
    I envy you your location - a beautiful part of the UK.
Now let's see - 3 years from Amble to Worcester and then 2 Years to OZ, it's speeded up! Shows how much science really knows...
