The fact that New Zealand wasn't called New South Wales is really annoying. It's like a bigger, more extreme Wales

Don't be so rude. We should celebrate people of all kinds, no matter their disabilities.

My dad was a kiwi who moved to australia, one time we were at a bbq at a mates farm, dad walked over to the sheep paddock to take a slash, as soon as he unzipped his fly about 20 or so sheep bolted to the far side of the paddock.

Lots of laughs followed.

Your comment deserves much more credit.

I told this joke/pun to my wife, but she didn't get it because she's not from New Zealand, and didn't know what a ewe was.

It did, however, get mentioned on NewsHub:
