ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

It is well known that humour is regional, but this is the first joke that I can say is truly Queenslander:

At a national conference of the Australian Hotels Association, the general
managers of Cascade Brewery (Tasmania), Tooheys (New South Wales), XXXX
(Queensland), CUB (Victoria) and Coopers (South Australia) found themselves
sitting at the same table for lunch.

When the waitress asked what they wanted to drink, the GM of Tooheys said
without hesitation, "I'll have a Tooheys New."

The head of Carlton & United smiled and said, Make mine a VB."

To which the boss of Coopers rejoined, "I'll have a Coopers, the King of
Beers."

And the bloke from Cascade asked for "a Cascade, the cleanest draught on
the planet."

The General Manager of XXXX paused a moment and then placed his order:
"I'll have a Diet Coke."

The others looked at him as if he had sprouted a new head.

"Well, he said with a shrug, if you buggers aren't drinking beer, then
neither will I.

Gee Glenny I thought you were going to say Harns Light

now Glenny this might settle the argument


DRINK UP AUSTRALIANS the pubs need you


They may be illiterate,

but they made their mark there were FOUR X s on the paper.

Saturday was where they were to meet at the CASCADE at SOUTHARK

near the WEST END where the tree up on the CROWN showed its GOLD TOP.

The TOOHEYS brothers were late.

Poor old CARLTON was bitter for he was in the draft

but he was rather glad his mates came.

There was HIENECAN, MILLERS, BUDWIESSER and his solid mate

GUINESS, STOUT he must be for he held up his friend FOSTER, LIGHT headed he was,

for he had been kicked by an EMU and chased by a SWAN, LAGER

you see did not agree with him nor did PALE ALE

so he drunk a DARWIN STUBBIE but that’s another story
