Chapter 11
An Aussie lady was on holiday in the UK, and came down to dinner in hotel where she was staying. She was seated at a table next to three Ex-Army Officer types. Looking over the menu, she couldn’t help but hear the conversation at the table next to her.
“I tell you, gents,” the first officer said. “It was without a doubt, TooooWooombaaaaa.”
“No, no no,” the second stated. “It’s TooWoommmba.”
“Poppycock!” the third stated. “I know for a fact it was Tooombar.”
The lady sat listening and then turned in her chair to address the three. “Fair, Dinkim, Mates! It’s blinkin’ Toowoomba.”
Stunned silence throughout the dining area. Then the first gentleman cleared his throat and replied...
“Madam, we three doubt that you have ever actually SEEN a hippopotamus in the wild, let alone heard it break wind, underwater.”
***G’Day! Sweetie here. Just so you know, Toowoomba is a city in Queensland. It is about 125 km or 78 miles (by car, slightly less in direct line) West of Brisbane. I heard this joke watching a comedy type show on BBC. A bit condescending but the punchline WAS funny.
