Aussies VS Kiwis

If you don't know, Aussies and Kiwis love to put shit on each other. It is sort of a national past-time, similar to US VS Canada but substitue Rugby for Ice Hockey.

Here is a good example of why we love to put crap on the Kiwis.....true story.

Guy I work with is Kiwi, great guy, really enjoy his company.

Yesterday he told me about when he was younger, he was at beach party in NZ, he was tired and went for a quick kip.

He woke up from a noise, and sat up, saw this glowing thing hurtling towards him.

It was a petrol can that was on fire. They had stoked up the fire with the petrol, the fire had raced back up the flow of petrol and the can had caught fire, so being Kiwi's they decided to play soccer with it.

Hence the glowing thing hurtling towards said Kiwi co-worker.

It hits him in face, and his face is on fire(quick cut: it ended up okay, he was not scarred for life luckily, skin grew back well in a few weeks).

What do you do when something is on fire?

You put it out.

How?

You could take off your shirt and smother it.
You could throw sand on it..
You could throw water on it, not great with petrol, but might be okay..

Or



You can stamp on it.

Unless it is a person's face, of course.

Of course.

Most people wouldn't, unless they are a Kiwi.

That's how they put it out. They stomped on his face. I love Kiwi's.

Mind you, if I ever need medical assistance over there, I hope to hell I am standing up and the person helping can't kick too high.

cheers
Dave.

Forgive me, but what is a kip? Not a familiar Texas term...
