Gotta Love Aussie's
Aussie sheila Anglea Sceats was over in Pommieland to do some studying when she was running a bit late to catch a plane. So she sent a text message to her friend that read; "Call the police and say there is a bomb on board". Her friend, also an Aussie, did just that, with the result that the cops stopped three planes from departing and nearly shut the whole airport down. She managed to convince the judge to let her off the hook but had to pay her own legal costs, estimated to be over thirty grand!
On 5 January 2008 a crowd of 4500 people paid $90.- each to get in to a show at the Australia Zoo where controversial American psychic John Edward was supposed to make contact with the deceased Steve Irwin. You guessed it, nothing happened....
The American cartoon show South Park has devoted a whole show to John Edward in which he wins the award of Biggest Douche In The Universe, beating several douche contestants from other galaxies.
Aussie bloke Patrick Carroll was at Darwin airport when he got a bit thirsty, so he left his luggage on a trolley to go and buy a beer. When he returned from the bar a security man was inspecting his luggage and Patrick called out to him; "Don't worry, I left the bomb in Iraq, mate!" He ended up in court, managed to be released on bail and had to come back to Darwin court later that year to hear the end of it.
A coupla blokes in the South Australia outback were entertaining themselves with the politically incorrect game of tying sticks of dynamite to rabbits which would then run in to their burrows to hide and boof! huge clouds of dust would fly out of the holes in the ground. This went on for a little while until karma caught up with the blokes and the next rabbit did not go down its hole but hid under their brandnew Landcruiser !!
In December 2009 when Best Job in The World winner Ben Southall was only days away from the end of his six-month stint as caretaker of Hamilton Island in Queensland he was stung by a potentially deadly Irukandi jellyfish when he jumped off his jet ski.
