Hilth Munister: "We're going to hef to shup some in from Brutain ?"

Hilth Munister: "What about Australia ?"
PM: "I'll call Scut Murrisun. Tell him we need one million condoms, ten enches long and eight enches thuck. That way they'll continue to respect the 'All Blacks'."
Three days later, a delighted Hillen rushes out to open the boxes that arrived at the Pist Office.
She finds one million condoms - 10 enches long, 8 enches thuck, all coloured green and gold with small writing on each one.
