[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 433664, member: 1991"] i love that one, pepperidge! We have some useful one-liners courtesy of Aussie political lines. For example, a former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser (famously introduced to the American people by Jimmy Carter as "my good friend JOHN Fraser"!) once said "Life was not meant to be easy," when challenged on the state of the economy. A later PM Paul Keating said (when he was Treasurer, before he was PM), "This is the recession we had to have." He had a lot of lines, including one about Australia being a banana republic. Politicians do provide good fodder... When we were touring NZ with easy child & SIL1, they tackled difficult child 3's random contributions to the conversation by suddenly talking about aerials. They discussed what colour aerial they would buy. We had to explain to difficult child 3, but he soon learned that talking about pink aerials was code for "You're being random and we're not accepting it." Even now, I can't think about NZ without visualising pink aerials all over the place! Marg [/QUOTE]
