Finally sick of the stress, he quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in the hills in Tasmania as far from humanity
as possible.
He sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace and quiet.
After six months or so of almost total isolation, someone knocks on his door. He opens it and a huge, bearded man is standing there.
'Name's Cliff, your neighbour from forty miles up the road. Having a Christmas party Friday night. Thought you might like to come at about 5:00...'
'Great', says Tom, 'after six months out here I'm ready to meet some local folks Thank you.'
As Cliff is leaving, he stops. 'Gotta warn you. Be some drinking'.'
'Not a problem' says Tom. 'After 25 years in the business, I can drink with the best of 'em'.
Again, the big man starts to leave and stops. 'More 'n' likely gonna be some fighting' too.'
'Well, I get along with people, I'll be all right! . I'll be there. Thanks again.'
'More'n likely be some wild sex, too,'
'Now that's really not a problem' says Tom, warming to the idea. 'I've been all alone for six months! I'll definitely be there... By the way, what should I wear?'
'Don't much matter. Just gonna be the two of us.

A new guy started work with us
At one of the meetings he said "You can tell a Tasmanian, but you can't tell them much."
Not many people were laughing because our CEO, who was also at the meeting, was a Tasmanian. :)

There is the standard joke used at Movie World on the Gold Coast, where the compere at a show asks "Is anyone here from Tasmania?" Typically a few people put up their hands. He then says "It must be a long time since you have seen so many people gathered in one place". The crowd laughs and then as the laughter dies down, he adds "That aren't related!".
It is the same theme in Universal Studios in California, only there they get a 'Volunteer' from the audience and interview him. Typically, he is on his honeymoon, and when they ask him where he works, he replies "Disneyland".
