Travel Humour - Tourists Website


These were posted on an Australian tourism website, and the answers are the actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a great sense of humour (not to mention a low tolerance threshold for cretins!) 
_________________________ _______________________ 
Q:        Does it ever get windy in Australia?  I have never seen it rain on TV.  How do the plants grow? (UK). 
A:        We import all plants fully grown, and then just sit around watching them die.
_________________________ _________________________

Q:        Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA) 
A:        Depends how much you've been drinking.

Q:        I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks? (  Sweden)
A:        Sure, it's only three thousand miles.  Take lots of water.
_________________________ _________________________

Q:        Are there any ATM's (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns , Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK) 
A:        What did your last slave die of?
_________________________________ _________________
 
Q:        Can you give me some information about hippo racing inAustralia? (USA) 
A:        Af-ri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south ofEurope.
Aust-ra-lia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not ...
Oh, forget it.  Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross.  Come naked.
_________________________ _________________________

Q:        Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)

Q:        Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA) 
A:        Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is ....
Oh, forget it.  Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races.  Come naked.
_________________________ _________________________

Q:        Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK) 
A:        You are a British politician, right?
_______ _________________________ __________________
 
Q:        Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round? (Germany) 
A:        No, we are a peaceful civilization of vegan hunter/gatherers.  Milk is illegal.

Q:        Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense rattlesnake serum. (USA) 
A:        Rattlesnakes live in A-mer-ica, which is where YOU come from.  All Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled, and make good pets.
_________________________ _________________________

Q:        I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name; it's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA) 
A:        It's called a Drop Bear.  They are so called because they drop out of gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them.

Gave me a chuckle too Bryan, the comments on the map are tongue in cheek and not particularly where events happened etc, but who cares, gave me a laugh.   I sent it to a Brit friend of mine,  it's probably doing the round of the UK at the moment, LOL biggrin
