Come' on roberttcan, lighten up!
I was just messin with George in a well considered and, I thought, in an obviously good natured and satirical manner. I think there's a strong kinship between Americans and our Australian brothers and sisters.
Of course I know Australia is considered by most people, including myself, as a western style country culturally, economically and politically. I actually love, respect and enjoy Australia and the many Australians I consider friends.
Sure, the men are probably overly affectionate toward their sheep and other farm animals and the women are obsessed and very promiscuous with Americans. However, when it comes to messing and joking around, I can assure you they can take it as well as they give it. Can you?
