An Aussie was visiting NZ & asked a sheep farmer, how do you shear your sheep? The farmer replied, I dont shear my sheep with anyone.

Oh this is going to be good. What's the similarity between an aussie and a computer, none. You have to punch information in to both of them.

How do you know if a Kiwi has hacked your computer?
The RAM is screwed

What does a kiwi guy use as aftershave?
mint sauce
----------
What do you call a kiwi sheep dog? A pimp

Have you spent years trying and failing to understand what New Zealanders are saying?
Just by following these easy steps and you too can hold a conversation with a New Zealander.
What you hear and what it really means:
BETTING : "Betting Gloves" are worn by betsmen in crucket.
BRIST : Part of the human anatomy between the "nick" and the "billy"
BUGGER : As in "mine is bugger than yours".
BUN BUTTUN - been bitten by insect
BUG HUT - popular recording
CHULLY BUN : Also known as an Esky
DIMMER KRETZ : Those who believe in democracy.
ERROR BUCK : Language spoken in countries like "Surria", E-Jupp" and "Libernon".
EKKA DYMOCKS : University staff
GUESS : Flammable vapour used in stoves.
LEATHER - foam from soap
SENDLES : Thongs, open shoes
COLOUR : Terminator, murderer.
CUSS : Kiss
DUCK HID : Term of abuse directed mainly at males.
PHAR LAP : NZ's famous horse which was actually christened "PHILLIP".
ERROR ROUTE : As in "Arnotts mulk error route buskets".
FITTER CHENEY : A type of long flat pasta not to be confused with "rugger tony".
PISSED aside - chemical that kills insects
PIGS - for hanging out washing
PUGS - pink animal with curly tail

Don't quite follow this. There has always been many more sheep in Australia than in New Zealand. A bit racist perhaps?

A woke perception of racism.
The ratio between sheep to population is quite different between the two countries.
Just like the Foreign Legion and camel ratios.

Why do Aussie sheilas wear high heals?
To stop their knuckles dragging on the ground.
There, we're now even!
Over & out.

I too, mentally cringe when I see that.
Takes me back to CMF days ..
Always start a transmission with "This is .+. call sign" .... "This is" alerts the recipient before the message starts. More useless trivia that sticks in the greymatter.
Just like "Cease Fire" Should be "Cease Fire ING" Cease fire is end of hostilities. Cease firing means stop shooting.

That is incorrect. The originator of the radio communication (only) has the option to signal/advise "out" - It is usual for a message to enquire or order at start, respondent/s answer and finish their reply with "over", the originator may just acknowledge or provide further information. The originator of the message has the option to either extend utilising "over", after their response or finish message with over and out.

Things must have changed in the 1/2 century since I left the CMF. Mind you, my experience was as a Field Artillery Signaller, not a full time signaller.
If your assertion that the originator of the exchange has the option to finish the communication is correct, then I would have thought that their response to do so would be by saying 'roger that, out' or similar, never 'over and out'
-- Edited by rgren2 on Monday 6th of January 2025 04:40:54 PM
Is "10...4" and "Roger Dodger" ok
It certainly is.
Over and out.
Roger that out

It is correct to say "Roger" denoting I have understood message/order, "Out" Denoting I am finishing this message/conversation. The "Over" is redundant but is mainly used as a courtesy/habit.
That joke bought this to mind.

Marine rescue never has over and out.

Agree.
From that link it explains why it makes sense NOT to use it "over means you want a reply and out means you do not expect a reply".
In the radio licensing course I went to, the instructor said those using the term were referred to in the radio room as "TV watchers".
Is "10...4" and "Roger Dodger" ok
When you have a convoy.
It certainly is.
Over and out.
Roger that out
