Those Aussies Again...

The "Australian" newspaper, over a period of weeks, sought entries for the Great Australian Yarn. This was the winner... Two drovers standing in a bar. One asked, "What are you up to? "Ahh. I'm takin' a mob of 6000 from Goondiwindi to Gympie." "Oh yeah . . . and what route are you takin'?" "Ah, prob'ly the Missus; after all, she stuck by me durin' the drought." Explanatory note for non-Aus/Enzed speakers Down here "route" is pronounced "root" and is slang for sexual intercourse.
If your neighbours don't listen to The Ramones, turn it up real loud so they can.

Lost in translation. Even with the explanation, I fear :|

It doesn't work with a yank accent - route is pronounced "rowt", not "root"

We're terribly inconsistent with that word. I'm pretty sure you get your kicks on 'root' 66, not 'rowt' 66. Also, the mental image I got from the explanation was of a pig rooting for truffles.

Although down here they are both "rowters" as a "rooter" is someone who spends rather too much time with the missus engaged in.....well....."rooting". And just to elaborate further...."a good kiwi eats roots and leaves."

I thought it was an ungrateful wombat that eats, roots, shoots and leaves?

Never, ever had the word shoots in the quote. Wombats - Eats, roots and leaves. That's it.
