    - Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a
    Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish
    kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on
    a Japanese TV.

    - Oh and...... Only in Australia ... can a pizza get to your house.
    Faster than an ambulance.

    - Only in Australia ... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to
    the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can
    buy cigarettes at the front.

    - Only in Australia ... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries
    and a DIET coke.

    - Only in Australia ... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to
    the counters.

    - Only in Australia ... do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars on the
    drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

    - Only in Australia ... do we use answering machines to screen calls and
    then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want
    to talk to in the first place.

    - Only in Australia ... are there disabled parking places in front of a
    skating rink.

    NOT TO MENTION...
    - 3 Aussies die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.

    - 142 Aussies were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.

    - 58 Aussies are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of
    screwdrivers.

    - 31 Aussies have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the
    fairy lights were plugged in.

    - 8 Aussies had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit
    cigarette in their mouth.

    - A massive 543 Aussies were admitted to Emergency in the last 2 years after
    opening bottles of beer with their teeth.

    and finally.........

    - In 2000... 8 Aussies cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the
    toilet.
