That fifty looks sweet though, doesn't it?
It reminds me off my year in Oz.
It was an easy transition when we got there, friends of ours were already established so we could stay in their gaff till we got one of our own.
So I'm still fresh off the boat and we're having a few drinks and the craic one night and my mate says to me - I bet you can't rip an Aussie note.
Now, we
still live in a world today where you'll get notes handed back to you cellotaped together so I'm thinking - bet on
Normally speaking I'm a good gambler but one really shouldn't accept a proposition bet from another who knows. It's like
Amarillo Slim. Legend has it that Slim bet another high stakes gambler that he could hit a golf ball half a mile, the bet was accepted. Slim went to a frozen lake and hit it.. and it kept on bouncing all the way..
Anyway, my mate takes the fifty out of his wallet and hands it to me.. ergh, argh, rip you bastard! Couldn't do it!
lol Aussie notes are made like plastic, you could cut it with a scissors, but you can't rip them with your hands. Bet lost
