So I'm out in California a while back visiting my Father and Sister. My Fathers 4th wife is from New Zealand (no he's not a JW). At the same time her son and wife are also visiting from New Zealand and they have 2 children 6 and 9. Well the wife is out in the back yard and me my sister and father are in the kitchen when the daughter in law comes running in saying, "I need a plaster, I need a plaster" I just thought "yea I need to get plastered too." Not knowing what she wanted we just stood there looking dumbfounded when the NZ wife comes in and hears her plea and gets her a plaster.

Calling a New Zealander an Aussie is like calling an American a Canadian.
