5 July 2012 - Australia

I once had an Australian boss. One time we were together on a business trip and met an otherwise normal American who was an Australia freak. He had a great wall map of what he called the “mother country” and was beside himself to meet an actual citizen. Maybe he was bitten by a snake there; some of them have weird neurotoxins. But aside from its dangerous fascination you mustn’t imagine that Australia is dangerous, oh no, the crocodiles aren’t even poisonous.
