As the ambulance takes the body away, Gazza says, "Someone should go and tell his wife." Macca says, "OK, I’m pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it."
Two hours later, Macca comes back carrying a slab of VB. Gazza says,” Where did you get that, Macca?"
"Chook's missus gave it to me." "That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you beer?"
Macca says, "Well not exactly. When she answered the door, I said to her, "You must be Chook`s widow." She said, "No, I'm not a widow."
And I said, "Wanna bet me a slab?"

Australian Facts:

2. Aussies that are particularly prone to bragging, fantasizing, or just telling people absolute nonsense, are known as BULLSHIT ARTISTS.
3. Aussies are notorious for so call “abbreviating” people’s names. This is actually untrue as the name change could actually be longer than the real name e.g. Sims would be called Simmo! No abbreviation here.
4. It is said that Australian men are the most tactless of the male breed. Or the most honest, depending which way you want to look at it, LOL!
5. A SLAB is a carton of beer. It can consists of 24 cans or 24 STUBBIES of beer.

13. Another word for “PISSED” is BLOTTO (abbreviated from the word blotted) = Way too much to drink.
14. Taking the PISS (out of someone/something) is to make fun of someone or something, or kidding with someone about something e.g. “Don’t be upset mate, I was only taking the piss out of you.”
15. Despite being called the “Original Australia Beer” and its heavy international presence, no Australian would be caught dead drinking Foster’s beer in Australia.
