A lot of new Australians live in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. A Chinaman had a fruit and vegie shop. Every Friday his neighbour, A Greek bloke with a snack bar, used to pass his shop on the way to bank his takings and he always called out, “What day is it Chinaman?” The Chinaman always replied, “Flyday, you Gleek plick.” “Not Flyday you dozey bastard, F-r-r-ri-day. Why don’t you learn to talk English proper?” So, the Chinaman practised all week. The next Friday, the Greek called out as usual, “What day is it Chinaman?” “F-r-r-ri-day, you Gleek plick”. [Aussie speak: Vegie = vegetable] |
