Overheard At Borders

A cow-orker just showed me this trick. When giving out your email address to a website, you might want to know how they’re using it.

Teen 2: Then we’d all have to play ‘ockey, eh?
Teen 1: True. Maybe the Australians should take over then.
Teen 2: Then we’d all have to go around saying “bonzer,” eh?
