Re: [Paddlewise] Top of the World

Peter,
Let me get this straight: Australia isn't "down-under", its "up-there", or
is that "up-over", or maybe "high-south". This is all very confusing to me.
So I guess our perception of Australia in a "bottom convention" is
politically incorrect to you Aussies. Well, then how come at the last Amway
convention I attended, all of the visiting macho male Australian men spent
the whole time looking at North American women's bottoms? This just doesn't
make sense. I'm going to have to write to the Australian Pornographic
Society. Maybe they can help me figure out these ups and downs.

BTW, if your male paddlers are so fast, how come they can't outrun the
crocodiles and avoid getting half-eaten? I know your Aussie women are a bit
slower, apparently, but they never seem to get bit. Maybe they are a little
faster with the logic and avoid islands surrounded by crocs. Just an
observation.
