Default Fellow Australians - Isn't this hilarious?

"Australian Tourism FAQ"These questions about Australia were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and obviously the answers came from a Aussie.1. Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK)A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.2. Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)A: Depends how much you've been drinking3. Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden)A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water...4. Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden)A: So its true what they say about Swedes.5. Q: It is imperative that I find the names and addresses of places to contact for a stuffed porpoise. (Italy)A: Let's not touch this one.6. Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK)A: What did your last slave die of?7. Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA)A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the pacific which does not... oh forget it.

It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)A: It's called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them.

I actually work as a tour guide in Sydney and I really do get questions similar to many of these (some better) quite a lot. The nationalities responsible are varied but the Americans definitely outnumber the rest when it comes to the stupidest questions.
