Just for laughs.....

These were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a great sense of humour (not to mention a low tolerance threshold for cretins!) Hey the only thing I asked was do they have peanut butter-apparently they do and they call it peanut paste. If I can find peanuts I will make my own and yes I will try vegemite once. I will try just about anything once.
G'day eh!
