Cultural differences

I recently have been thinking about the cultural differences between where we came from and Australia. Jim sent me this and I think it just about sums it up....

Koos was walking through his veld one day when he spots someone
drinking water from a pool.

He shouts, "Moenie die water drink nie, dis vol skaap kak".

The other guy says, "I'm Australian mate, speak English!"

Koos replies, "Use both hands, you get more that way".

Oh well................I also cannot stop thinking about what Mike Faure said on his return to South Africa from living in Aussie some years ago, when he said " hulle is mos nie soos ONS mense nie"
