Jokes of the week from Down Under.

Peter FitzSimons, a Sports Columnist at Sydney Morning Herald is a true joker, how about these two?

In the late 1980s, I was invited to speak at a debate in Whangarei, New Zealand, against the notion ''Kiwis are smarter than Aussies.''

I thought I did rather well, until their once-was-prime-minister Sir Robert Muldoon blew me out of the water, saying, ''FitzSimons, don't you understand that it is a recognised fact that every time a New Zealander emigrates to Australia, it lifts the average IQ of both countries?''

And here is the other one, which really didn´t make me laugh, just thought it´s funny, but for those who haven´t read it, here it is in full print:

A handsome young man and a beautiful girl meet and it is love at first sight. They immediately get married and go on their honeymoon.

On their wedding night, the bride goes into the bathroom to freshen up. Unfortunately, she has a case of bad breath so severe she has to take a powerful drug to control it.

She is about to take the drug when she decides it best to let her husband in on her secret now. So she returns to bed without taking it.

Her husband then goes into the bathroom to freshen up. In a curious coincidence, he has a problem with foot odour so offensive that it requires a special preparation to keep it under control. He is about to apply the preparation when he decides it best to let his wife know about his problem, because she will find out about it sooner or later anyway. He skips applying the preparation, returns to bed, grabs his wife and gives her a big kiss.

She says, ''Honey, there's something I have to tell you.''

''OK,'' he says, ''but I already know what it is. You ate my socks.''

Thank you Peter for letting me cite your column.

Even Swedes must learn about Aussie jokes, when they are at it´s best.
