7.a. When an American exchange student brushes her hair and declares "My bangs are out of control" you offer polite congratulations.

I often wondered about dress standards in the oval office.


19. You believe that cooked-down axlegrease makes a good breakfast spread.

Mmmmm vegemite. It's actually a kind of cheese made from kangaroo milk.


21. Hamburger. Beetroot. Of course.

Hey! I said the lot. Where's the PINEAPPLE??

at this thread ... there are so many more...

You will fight to the death over Commodores Vs Falcons. Or AFL Vs Rugby.

You "naturally prefer" whichever beer is brewed in your home state.

You know The Don's batting average ... to two significant figures.

Your folk heroes include a vagabond who commits suicide to avoid prosecution for sheep-theft.

You know why John Sattler is famous ... and is seldom invited to make speeches.
