Australian States – jokes
New South Wales
A senior citizen drove his brand new Holden Senator out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 120 kph, enjoying the power of the car .
“Amazing,” he thought as he flew down the M1, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a highway patrol car, blue lights flashing and siren blaring.
He floored it to 140 kph, then 180kph, then suddenly he thought, “What am I doing? I’m too old for this!” and pulled over to await the copper’s arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the copper got out of his vehicle and walked up to the car. He looked at his watch, then said, “Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding – a reason I’ve never before heard – I’ll let you go..”
The old gentleman paused then said, “Thirty three years ago, my wife ran off with a policeman, I thought you were bringing her back.”
“Have a good day, Sir,” replied the copper.
Queensland
The owner of a golf course on the Gold Coast was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help.
He called her into his office and said, “You graduated from the University of Queensland and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?”
The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, “Everything but my earrings.”
Tasmania
A senior citizen in Tasmania was overheard saying, “When the end of the world comes, I hope to be here.”
When asked why, he replied, “I’d rather be in Tasmania ‘cause everything happens in Tasmania 20 years later than in the rest of the world.”
South Australia
The young man from SA came running into the store and said to his mate, “Johnno, somebody just stole your ute from the parking lot!”
Johnno replied, “Did ya see who it was?”
The young man answered, “I couldn’t tell, but I got the licence plate number.”
Western Australia
A WA highway patrol pulled over a car on the main road. The copper asked, “Got any ID?”
The driver replied, “about what?”
Victoria
The copper pulled up next to the bloke unloading garbage out of his ute into the ditch.
The copper asked, “Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don’t you see that sign right over your head.”
“Yep,” he replied.
“That’s why I’m dumpin’ it here, ‘cause it says: ‘Fine For Dumping Garbage.”
