As a Naturalised Aussie......... that story is probably true :-D

As a born Scot............ Johnnie Walker is Whisky, not Whiskey.


Pedantic.

straight ,hot off the press from Australia.........

ANOTHER TRUE (TALL) TALE FROM AUSTRALIA:


I went fishing one morning, but after a short time I ran out of my prawn bait. Bugger! Wouldn’t it root your bloody boot!

Then I saw a red-belly black snake with a frog in his mouth. I said to it, ‘Good on yer, Cobber’.
(Frogs are really good barramundi bait.)
Knowing that the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth, I grabbed him
right behind the head, took the frog off the teeth, and put it in my bait bucket.

Now the problem was; how to release the snake without getting bitten.

So, I grabbed my traveller’s bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label and poured a moderate amount of whiskey into its mouth.
The snake’s eyes rolled back and he went limp.

I released him into the lake without further incident and carried on fishing, using the frog as bait.

A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. It was that bloody snake again, with two more frogs.
