Kev's Life

Condom Factory burns down in Australia!

  Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia, is awoken at 4am by the telephone.

Kevin, its the health Minister here.   Sorry to bother you at this hour

but there is an emergency!!!    I’ve just received word that the Durex

factory in Sydney has burned to the ground.   It is estimated that the

  entire Australian supply of condoms will be gone by the end of the week!

PM: ‘SHIT!!!  – the economy will never be able to cope with all those

unwanted babies -  we’ll be ruined!!’

Health Minister: ‘We’re going to have to ship some in from….Britain?’

PM: ‘No  chance!! The Poms will have a field day on this one!!’

  Health Minister: ‘What about New Zealand ?’

PM: ‘I’ll  call John Key – tell him we need ten million condoms;   ten

  inches long and eight inches thick!!   That way they’ll continue to

  respect the wallabies!’

  Three days later a delighted Kevin rushes out to open  the boxes.

  He finds ten million condoms, 10 inches long, 8  inches thick, all

   coloured black and white with small writing on each one…

   MADE IN  NEW ZEALAND

                 – SIZE:  Small

ONLY AUSSIES
Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for A Belgian beer, then on the way home, grabbing an Indian curry or A Turkish kebab, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
Oh and….. Only in Australia … can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in Australia .. do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
Only in Australia … do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.
Only in Australia … do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
