Talking One for the Kiwis for Australia Day

AU Day is coming up and I just read a hilarious quote that Kiwis can use on us when they get sick of the boring/tired sheep jokes we fire at them (and by Zeus those are pathetic!).

An ex-Prime Minister of New Zealand, Robert “Piggy” Muldoon, once quipped that Kiwis emigrating to Australia were raising the average IQ of both countries.

Yes, Rob was a good man with a good sense of humour. Both him and David Lange probably were the last of that legacy of tough talking old school politicians in NZ

So that means all the Kiwis here are the stupid ones?

It might work if you were still in NZ, but you'd look a little retarded telling that joke in Australia

Back in 1981 that was probably true, not anymore.

The joke was that it RAISES the ave. IQ of both countries. Think about it.
Maybe he was right.

Yes, and if you're a Kiwi and standing in Australia telling that joke you are obviously one of the stupid Kiwis... Get it???? Perhaps not... never mind.....

You have just proved the quote/joke as being correct. Even after 30 odd years.

But seriously, the OP was just presenting the old Kiwi/Oz rivalry, so don't take it seriously.

Sorry to confuse you. Again.
