Oh, that Aussie sense of humor

[Rick in PA]

I came across this this morning. It gave me a chuckle:

Here's the product web page:
http://www.nulon.com.au/products/Aerosols/Start_Ya_Bastard_Instant_Engine_Starter

(I hope the wording doesn't get me in trouble, after all it is a legitimate brand name.)

That's why everybody loves Aussies. They are the Swedes of the Southern Hemisphere.

It's a great product.

Aerostart has never made a car fly...SYB has lasted a winter of no glow plugs.

It's also a rippa rapid dry degreaser if you don't smoke around it.

We could not have that product in the US because it might offend someone especially a [censored] that was asked to start to do something even though they'd already received their welfare check.

Who would win a beauty contest between Swedish and Aussie women?

Have you met Ellyse Perry ?

Played for Australia at international level in both soccer and cricket.
In the 2015 Women's Ashes tour of England, she was named Player of the Series, making the most runs and taking the most wickets.

In the 2014 One Day International against England, she batted Australia to victory by scoring 90 not out from 95 balls.

Yeah. Unfortunately we too are becoming a bit obsessed with political correctness.
Should someone take offence, smile and ask:
"Cement my good man?
HTFU".

I just love that. Unfortunately many people seem to have no sense of humor these days.

This is great thing for people who collect old oil cans.

Also, if the guy who invented the name also wrote the directions for use and the safety warnings, it would be even better.

We lived in NZ for a year (03/04). Saw this product, IIRC, at The Warehouse (NZ Walmart sort of) and had to take a photo. Sent it my co-workers here. When I got back, someone had printed the photo, trimmed it, and wrapped it around an aerosol container in the shop.

I also took photos of canned foods that amused me. My Kiwi mates didn't get why I found 'Lambs' Tongue - Peeled' (or 'Unpeeled') gross.

 

[Whitewolf]

I don't understand why the lambs tongue thing is gross either.
