A dangerous country


While off-roading with my Australian friend I explained how NZ is different from Australia in the way that we don’t really have any dangerous animals. I think he took exception to that as every interesting animal I pointed out since then he always immediately counted with “-It’ll kill ya!”

Me: “Hey look at that lizard-”
Chris: “-It’ll kill ya!”
Me: “Did you see that kangaroo-?”
Chris: “-It’ll kill ya!”
Me: “Wow look at the cute koala-”
Chris: “-It’ll kill ya!”
Me: “ I've noticed in the trees you have-”
Chris: “-It’ll kill ya!”
Me: “-I have said what it is yet! How do you know it’ll kill me until I tell you what I am looking at?!”    
Chris: “Sorry – what were you pointing at?”
Me: “That bird. The white one that looks like a parrot.”
Chris: “Oh, that’s a Cockatoo.”
 Me: “Beautiful isn't it?”
Chris: “Yea……It’ll kill ya.”
