A Somalian arrives in Melbourne as a new immigrant to Australia .

He stops the first man he sees walking down the street and says, 'Thank you Mr Australian for letting me in this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care and free education!'

The man says, 'You are mistaken, I am Pakistani.'

The Somali man goes on and encounters another passer-by. 'Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in the Australia !'

This person says, 'I no Australian, me Polish.'

He walks on and stops the next person, shakes his hand and says, 'Thank you for the wonderful things in Australia !'

This person puts up his hand and says, 'I am from India , I am not Australian!'

Finally, he sees a nice lady and asks, 'Are you Australian?'

She says,' No, I am from Africa !'

Puzzled, he asks her, 'Where are all the Australian people?'

The African lady checks her watch and says ...

' Probably at work!! '

aussie humour??? Is that not a contradiction in terms??

hehe, probably at the beach more like it, the only ones at work in aussie are the kiwis ...

hmm..the reason Australia is so full of Kiwis is that they can come over and are IMMEDIATELY elligible for the dole! Australia goes to the beach on weekends though - absolutely right there! Anyway - it's hard to tell what the Kiwis are doing cos no-one can understand what they say.....

can't understand Kiwis??? What about that really irritating Aussie habit of the last word in a sentence rising in pitch??? WTF is that about - all Antipodeans should come with subtitles!!!!

actually most of the Australians are here in London working in bars
