Question:

What is the Dumbest question you've been asked about your country?

by | earlier

Through my travels i've been asked some pretty Stupid questions about Australia.

eg. Is there any wind or water in Australia? Do you have ATMs in Australia? Do you have supermarkets in Australia? Do you ride a Kangeroo in Australia? Do you have ducks in Australia? etc etc.

What are dumbest or craziest questions you've ever been asked about your country?

Back in the 1977 American cousin came to visit for first time and said to my husband (boyfriend at the time) "Hey John lets go for a drive to Western Australia". ( We live in Sydney). We could not help but laugh and had to explain how far/long it would take to get there by car.

Poor cousin Michael never got the chance to vist WA but he was most impressed by Sydney

I've also been asked by a french friend whether we ride kangaroos to school in Australia (like horses)

Do we have showers in Australia (they think we're all dying of drought with a rain tank)

Do we all have farms?

It's pretty funny really.

Well, I don't have one about the US...but Texas, yes.

"Do you guys eat the entire cow when you shoot it?"

"Do you have cars or do you just ride horses?"

"What the heck is brisket?"

"Why do you Texans say 'ya'll' and 'ain't'?"

"Did they shoot the opening song in The Sound of Music in the Texas hill country?" <--odd question by the way

And more.

So yeah, hope y'all got a kick outta that one.
