Default The ALTERNATIVE citizenship test

Long time for me to be on here, but with the recent announcement of new tests in the citizenship application I could not resist.......

Instead of asking the usual about the national flower, date of First Fleet, colours of the flag, etc etc why not ask the REAL questions that determine your suitability for Ozzie citozenship:

Here's my list, please feel free to ADD TO THIS LIST AND MAKE IT FUNNY

(NB.....I await an Australian to come up with the same for British Citizenship.....two way street this taking the pee.......)

Here's the real questions to ask:
  1. How long does you hair have to be before it is officially a mullet?
  2. If persisting going barefoot to the supermarket, how do you stay clean and hygenic but also save water?
  3. What is the current record for most dollars spent trying to improve a 20 year old Holden Commodore to go fast and also sound loud?
  4. How many men can you get around a standard 6 burner BBQ?
  5. How long does it take a standard traffic light to complete one cycle:
    30 seconds
    10 minutes
    5 hours
    half a day
  6. What are the standard bank fees per month:
    $1
    $10
    $100
    too bloody much ?
  7. How many decent TV programmes are there originating from Australia?
    None
    One
    What is TV again......
  8. How many hours of TV are dedicated to sport each day?
    23 hours 58 minutes
    23 hours 59 minutes
  9. Who are the current Rugby World champions
    Australia
    Australia
    or Australia (we don't recognise the last world cup you see)


Come on - PLEASE make this funny...it's an English trait to take the pee out of our situation isn't it ?

It's getting funnier:

LANGUAGE
1. Do you understand the meaning, but are unable to explain the origin of, the term "died in the arse"?
2. What is a mole?

3. Are these terms related: chuck a sickie; chuck a spaz; chuck a U-ey?

4. Explain the following passage: "In the arvo last Chrissy the relos rocked up for a barbie, some bevvies and a few snags. After a bit of a Bex and a lie down we opened the pressies, scoffed all the chockies, bickies and lollies. Then we drained a few tinnies and Mum did her block after Dad and Steve had a barney and a bit of biffo."

CUSTOMS
1. Macca, Chooka and Wanger are driving to Surfers in their Torana. If they are travelling at 100 km/h while listening to Barnsey, Farnsey and Acca Dacca, how many slabs will each person on average consume between flashing a brown eye and having a slash?
2. Complete the following sentences: a) "If the van's rockin' don't bother … b) You're going home in the back of a …

c) Fair suck of the …

3. I've had a gutful and I can't be fagged. Discuss

2. What are the ingredients in a rissole?

4. Do you have an Aunty Myrna who is famous for her tuna mornay and other dishes involving a can of cream of celery soup?

5. In any two-hour period have you ever eaten three-bean salad, a chop and two serves of pav washed down with someone else's beer that has been nicked from a bath full of ice?

6. When you go to a bring- your-own-meat barbie can you eat other people's meat or are you only allowed to eat your own?

7. What purple root vegetable beginning with the letter "b" is required by law to be included in a hamburger with the lot?

CULTURE
1. Do you own or have you ever owned a lawn mower, a pair of thongs, an Esky or Ugg boots?
2. Is it possible to "prang a car" while doing "circle work"?

3. Who would you like to crack on to?
