May 9th, 2006 Kathrine

Mens eg holdt på å lesa t management prøven i mårå, så fant eg plutselig ng FNQ vitsar… Meste parten e jo me regntid/syklon tid og varme. Syns di va litt fine, så her e di:

You know you are from Far North Queensland when:

• You have more than twenty C and D batteries in your kitchen drawer, and your pantry contains more than 10 cans of baked beans.
• You flinch when you are introduced to a person named Larry, Monica or Ingrid.
• You catch a 6-pound barramundi… in your driveway.
• You find yourself dropping words like “hectopascal” and “convection” into everyday conversation.
• You are thinking of repainting your house to match the masking tape on your windows.
• When describing your house to a prospective buyer, you say it has three bedrooms, two baths and one “safe place”.
• You have the number for the State Emergency Service on your speed dialer.
• Three months ago you couldn’t hang a shower curtain; today you can assemble a portable generator by candlelight.
• You can recite whole portions of your homeowner’s insurance policy from memory.
• At parties, women are attracted to the guy with the biggest chainsaw.
• You can rattle off the names of three or more meteorologists who work at the Bureau of Meteorology.
• Relocating to Mount Isa does not seem like such a crazy idea.
• Most sentences finish in EH! And when the word mate is constantly used.
• You find a crocodile swimming in your pool or chewing on your family dog.
• You look out your window and watch the neighbours roofing fly past.
• You have to call the local snake handler to collect the eggs from the hen house.
• A sugar bat flies in from the veranda and you find that cute (eeehh..)
• You think nothing of whacking your bare hand down on a cockroach (eeehh..?)
• You never put the lid of the loo down because then you might not see the green tree frog who lives just under the back lip of the bowl
• When you flush the loo, you only use the half water button so that you don’t flush the green frog down
• The weather report is also in Indonesian so the illegal fishers know when a cyclone’s coming
• You shed a tear for the poor little Gecko you’ve just squashed in your sliding door. Then you lovingly put him out on the verandah railing for the green ants to take away (der ser du Elisabeth! Nei, me drebe isje Gekko’ar..)
• You wonder why your dogs have been behaving strangley all evening only to find a snake behind your couch!!!
