DIFFERENCES ?
Do I detect some severe difference in opinion here ?
>From ZL2BSJ, quoting from a previous bulletin;
__________
" It is a mystery why, when the Americans have Death Valley and the
arid parts of Utah and Arizona to use, that they take a whole film crew
all the way to Australia."
Then providing this comment
" I believe the reason was that the Americans had trouble recruiting
freakish-looking extras in sufficient numbers. Which is why they decided
to shoot in over in Oz ;-) "
__________
And in reply from VK6BE;
__________
" You'll keep Wilbert! They're probably Kiwi shearers. Got plenty of 'em!
Bob VK6BE. "
__________
The facts (probably) are that Bob is right, but further;
The production costs would have gone up to quite a degree as the Kiwi
shearers would have been constantly consuming the Aussie beer available to
the "extras".
This would have helped to accentuate the "freakish" looking aspect.
To achieve this condition the Kiwi "expats", of which there certainly are
many, would have been "myking ixcissive jewernees" to the "frudge"
containing the high quality cold Aussie beer.
Regards,
Ian

P.S. The above does not mean that all people of "Kiwi" origin have reduced
capability. Some can be rather clever, as indicated in this additional
note.

A young lad working in a supermarket, here in Australia, was approached by
a man who wanted to buy a half a lettuce.
"But we don't sell "half lettuces sir," said the young chap.
"I want half a lettuce and I want you to talk to the manager about it" was
the reply.
So, obligingly the lad went to the manager.
"Some idiot customer wants to buy half a lettuce", he stated.
Then, suddenly realising that the customer had followed him, and was
standing right behind him he continued,
"And this gentleman has kindly offered to buy the other half."
The manager gave a bit of a grin and sorted the matter out.
A short while later he approached the lad, saying, " That was pretty quick
thinking on your part with that chap standing right behind you.
He then asked, "Where did we find such a smart young fellow like you?"
The lad replied, "Well, I haven't been here even 2 years yet, but
previously I was in New Zealand."
"And why did you leave New Zealand to come over here?" asked the manager.
The reply to this was, "Oh. In New Zealand there's nothing but loose women
and rugby players."
With a frown and a somewhat harsh voice the manager exclaimed, "I'll have
you know that my wife comes from New Zealand!"
With hardly a pause the lad answered, with a smile, "Oh, did she sir? What
team did she play for?'
