(Mike's Trip to Australia as a Teacher)
"Okay class, this is a bottle opener. You use it to open Foster's
bottles. Just so happens I have a case and a half stashed away in the lab
fridge. Okay, who can tell me the Golden Rule of Poli-Sci? Thaz right,
Political Science is the last refuge for the bullshit artist. Okay, we'll
be picking up where I left off last week when I passed out. And that point
happens to be about a foot and a half from the men's loo. Hey, is that
janitor still pissed? Well, he's only a bloody Abbo anyway. Alrighty,
chapter 5, Drinking. Drinking is a very important part of Australian
Culture. The founding fathers were loaded when they got here and their
desOBcendants have been loaded ever since. Quick question: What do we do on
Australian Independence day apart from drinking? Thaz right -- nothing.
Bloody Foster's sales make up 10% of the GNP here! Okay, what's a good thing
for a hangover? Thaz right, Billy -- drinking heavily the night before.
Yup, and I pretty well made up that prerequirement last period. What's the
Australian national symbol? No, it is NOT an empty bottle of Foster's lying
besides a comatose Poli-Sci teacher. Pardon, Suzy? A dead Abbo under a
land train's wheels? Well, it's not, but it oghta be. Well, we'll forget
about that. Foreign languages! Okay class, how to we say hello in Italian?
Correct. Grab your crotch with your right hand and give three quick, firm
lifts while yelling 'HEY BUDDY! I got you hangin'!' Yes, Billy? No. No.
NO! 'Fuckin' Mooleys!' is NOT the Italian national saying. Could have fooled
me, tho. Okay, how do jews say 'Fuck you'? Correct, 'Trust me'. Can anyone
here tell me why the Melbourne symphony can't play anything besides 99
Bottles of Beer on the Wall? Guess I came up snake eyes on that one. What
do we call an Australian with a 6 pack? Correct Suzy, a lightwieght. How
