<snerk> Heard this joke on the telly tonight. <cheeky smirk> Val should get it...

Q: What's a hindu?
A: It lays eggs, eh.


<rolling around laughing> Ah dear me, any chance at all to pick on the kiwis...

It's one of the reasons I liked watching Xena so much. They used locals as extras and every now and again there'd be a broad kiwi accent amongst the broad American accents. ("You goin' to the fistival?") And listening to Lucy Lawless speaking as herself was a real brain tweaker! You just don't expect those inflections when you've only seen her in character but it was so cute. <g> My favourite ever NZ line, however, came from Cheeky Hobson in the Footrot Flats movie: "I niver want to see you agin, Wal Footrot, niver iver!"
Still cracks me up...
