750636 2009-02-23 09:46:00 Rules for visiting NZ's South Island are:

1 . Pull your pants up . You look like an idiot .


2 . Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked .


3 . Let's get this straight: it's called a 'gravel road . ' I drive a Ute
because I want to . No matter how slow you drive, you're gonna get dust
on your Lexus . Drive it or get out of the way .


4 . They are cattle . That's why they smell like cattle . They smell like
money to us . Get over it . Don't like it? SH1 goes north, find it and
f*** off .


5 . So you have a $80,000 car . We're impressed . We have $250,000
Harvesters that are driven only 3 weeks a year .


6 . Every person in the South waves . It's called being friendly . Try to
understand the concept .


7 . If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheasants/ducks/quail
are coming in during the season, we WILL shoot it outta your hand . You
better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time . .


8 . Yeah . We eat trout, salmon, deer and duck . You really want sushi and
caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop .


9 . The 'Opener' refers to the first day of duck season . It's a religious
holiday , we will observe it .


10 . We open doors for women . That's applied to all women, regardless of
age .



11 . No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu . Order steak, or you
can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey .


12 . When we set a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables
and breads . We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Watties Tomato sauce!
Oh, yeah - we don't care what you folks in Ponsonby call that stuff you
eat . . IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!


13 . You bring 'Coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and served
over ice . You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know
how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair .


14 . College and High School Rugby is as important here as the All
Blacks, the Highlanders and the Crusaders and a heap more fun to watch .


15 . Yeah, we have golf courses - but don't hit the water hazards - it
spooks the fish .


16 . Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain't
music .
We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers!
Refer back to #1!


17 . For role models refer to the "Mainland Cheese" and "Speights" boys
. . . .
'good on ya, mate'!

750637 2009-02-23 19:17:00 Yup - as a genyawine Southern Man, that's pretty much on the money DH! :thumbs: nofam (9009)
750638 2009-02-23 19:41:00 I thought the South Island was a pretty good place. The middle island is the weird one. ;) R2x1 (4628)

750640 2009-02-23 20:23:00 Looks to me like it's plagiarised from an American (Southern States) joke - going by the use of the following terms:

'bait shop'

'2 pounds of ham and turkey'

'IT AIN'T REAL CHILI'

'drive a truck'

'College and High School' (??)
