Youve just sat an exam, had a 2 hour mental health profile , sat 3 interviews and if you pass the health and safety card and medical you can now stack shelves in coles.
Casual is not your lifestyle its the way your employer decides your hours.
You keep a filing cabinet for your permits and licences.
You hide from the sun not tan in it.
Your beauty routine is thick white sunblock and insect spray.
That was 62 - 67 if anybodies counting.

68: you have 18 shopping bags when you have finished shopping but only 17 items of shopping, i think it must be illegal to put more than two items in one bag
69 (Ooh Err): You dont go out to your shed in the darkness in case you get bitten by something & then die.
70 A smoko is when you have tea & sandwiches (Teabreak)
71 Ah Yeah is the only two words you really have to know to get by in Australia.

72 You have a Christmas Day evening seafood BBQ with lobsters, Moreton Bay bugs, prawns etc, but as soon as you sit down to eat it over 1000 flies immediately land all over your lovely food
73 You have to wait until it gets dark to have Christmas Day evening seafood BBQs
