Should I be insulted?
I'm at the airport killing time while I wait to fly out to see the future ex missus Speedy, and I was looking for an Aussie present to get her.
I found the perfect little Nick nack a stuffed kangaroo scrotum keychain, nothing says I love you like a full scrotum and besides if I give her that one then maybe she won't try keep mine in her purse too.
Well I'm talking with the shop assistant and he flat out asks me am I from Texas.
Well 1st off the future ex missus Speedy is a woman so that's got to rule Texas out, but how bad is it when people from Australia don't even know what an Aussie accent sounds like, FMD.
But I suppose this is Melbourne and there's no real Australian here anyway.
Still I have to wait till 23:15 to board and the connecting flight got pushed forward so I've been sitting here since 12:00 so I've a right to be a little put out.

Re: Should I be insulated?
I was thinking this was a thread about insulation
Did you feel insulted, or were you wearing a padded jacket to cover your broad shoulders?
Not sure what I sound like but often confuse people at airports - it's part of the fun
The Champ will be round soon to comment on Texans, and you did say this "woman" is from Thailand didnt you? Dont count you're chickens until they're hatched, it might not be eggs she is packing

Fixed the fat finger auto correct.
But I'm sufficiently confident that there's no low hanging fruit, anywhere.

Re: Should I be insulted?
Yep Songkran festival in Bangkok, some fishing for Arapaima followed by a week in bungalow on the beach down at Krabi with the future much younger ex missus Speedy.
I also want to buy one of them super powerful Tasar's and see if I can pay someone to let me shot them with it.
Then next year Cambodia to shoot a water buffalo with an RPG.
I'm ticking things off the bucket list.

Re: Should I be insulted?
mate and his missus and boys are going to Vietnam at the end of the year and he’s going to buy a cow and have crack at it with an RPG. He said if he misses the guy buys the cow back off him.SPEEDY wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 4:09 am Yep Songkran festival in Bangkok, some fishing for Arapaima followed by a week in bungalow on the beach down at Krabi with the future much younger ex missus Speedy.

Re: Should I be insulted?
It might be Texas that has the right to be insulted. Alaskans love to insult Texans, did you know that if you divided Alaska into two states, Texas would then move from the second largest state to the third largest state?

Re: Should I be insulted?
I don't see how anyone could mistake an Aussie accent with a Texan accent. Must have been the keychain that confused him. Some do make remarks about steers and such in reference to Texans though. But I imagine thats only for those who are from Austin.

"the future ex missus" - now that is thinking ahead. In some small ways you Aussies are more advanced than we are.

You have to plan for the future to avoid shocks and unpleasant surprises.

But I want them to do the cleaning, not surgically scrub them after use, and it couldn't drive me home when I'm drunk.
