Back to Yanks again sorry

They can't tell a story (something that happened to them previously) in the PAST tense. They tell everything in the present tense.
I just caught the end of the miraculous escapes programme on telly, and some woman was saying "...and I am looking at it, knowing that I am going to hit it..."
No you dropkick it happened 10yrs ago = PAST tense.
Grrr bloody Seppos.




Drive-through banks, pharmacies, and liquor stores.

Parking lots (car parks) larger than the buildings they serve.

Sugar-frosted honey-coated deep-fat-fried cheese sticks - and a Diet Coke.

Bumper stickers that say "Honk if you hate noise pollution".

Creationists who insist that the pharmaceutical drugs they use first be tested on monkeys and chimps.

Football in which the ball is carried or propelled much more by hand than by foot.

People who argue that human life is so sacred that abortion justifies capital punishment.

A country where the "Lower Forty-eight" states are north of Hawaii, and where the "Continental U.S" doesn't include Alaska, which is clearly on the same continent.

A country where everyone has time to mow their three-acre lawn each week, but no one has time to cook their own food.

People who value equality so much that they think discrimination should be used to create it.

Academic institutions known more for their athletes than their scholars.

A country where the Big Ten has eleven schools, and a fifth is four fifths of a quart.

A country where "evil-doer" and "do-gooder" are both negative characterizations.

A country that claims to hate lawyers, and that elects only lawyers to public office.

Prices of gasoline (petrol) prices that are a fraction of the price of drinking water - and people complaining about the price of gasoline.

A State Department that has nothing to do with the states.

"In God We Trust" written on every piece of money of a nation that alleges to separate church and state.

A country where only the well-to-do ride bicycles.

One of the world's most technologically advanced countries, with the most antiquated system of weights and measures.

"The Land of the Free" with the world's second highest incarceration rate. Explanation

A principled refusal to ratify the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. (Somalia is the only other nation with the same principles.)

Where? Where is it cheaper to buy "gasoline" than drinking water? It sure as hell ain't anywhere in Aus (or anywhere else I can think of).

Don't blame the bloke in front. Blame the airline for bringing the seats closer together by notching them on their carrier rails so as to maximise passenger numbers.

On the road...
J walkers who hit the button.
Lazy pricks who don't know how to indicate at roundabouts, or anywhere.
tailgaters.
thumping stereos that drown out mine.
Narrow parking bays.
Plebs who can't park in any bay.
Handicapped space hogs.
Heads-down texters at a green light.
Road rage weenies.
Butt flickers.
Can tossers.
Bottle smashers.

Harleys', or more specifically Harleys' with exhausts so loud that anyone within a 100m radius of the thing can't hear themselves think. I honestly DO NOT get it, they sound like absolute ****e to start with yet if seems everyone from bikies to your run of the mill bloke with a mid life crisis is intent on putting the loudest possible exhaust they can find on it. I am generally not a big fan of the RTA but if all they ever did was pull over Harleys' and impound them for excessive noise the world would be a much more peaceful place.

Agree but at least Harleys move on. Lawn mowers. People don't realise that they are built to a price. The mufflers are full of steel wool and they burn out after a year or two. Don't just put on earmuffs, replace the muffler every now and then.

Reading one of the bike mags some years ago one of the columnists who goes by the name of Groff gave them a name: called them 'Gay Pirates', because of the way they play dressups. Gives me a grin every time I see one of them.

^ Sheep on ride-on mowers are called 'gay pirates'. Totally confused there.

I get this a bit... 'do you follow the cricket/football/soccer'? Nah. 'Well you aren't very sporty are you'...

It seems once you are over thirty(?) you are supposed to only be sporty on the lounge (not in the good way either ).
