[Healeys] Happy Australia Day

[Quinn, Patrick]

G'day

Yes Australia Day 2009 is but a pleasant memory. Now back at work,
avoiding doing anything useful.

But struth I have spent so much of my valuable time trying to educate
youse blokes. Even flew in specially and sat down with Gary and told him
about things Strine.

In the dim dark mists of time Australians did sink a cold Fosters or
two. Now Fosters is a large Australian brewing and wine company. Fosters
beer is only drunk by non-Australians who think they are drinking an
Australian beer.

Shrimp? Bloody hell! How many times do I have to tell you that if we
must BBQ this crustacean, it's called a prawn. No matter how big or
small it is.

Besides it was Australia Day and it's was either lamb or sausages. If
you wanted to be very patriotic you could BBQ kangaroo. Yes we are
probably the only country in the world that eats one of its national
emblems.

Knives into the wall? Sounds like a good way of getting yourself a free
trip in a paddy-wagon. About the only thing you would throw would be a
dart at a dartboard.

Thanks and happy Australia Day to all of you Down Under. We realize
you're
all through celebrating, time zones being what they are, but we're still

observing it up here, drinking our Fosters, tossing our shrimp on the
barbies,
throwing our big knives into the walls of the pubs, and all those other
things we
understand from our cinema that you do there.

Best,
Gary
