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 :|

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Do not feed the troll ! - Common proverb
You didn't read it with an Aussie accent!

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?

The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004

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