>>
>> Aussie: "The dog doesn't talk, you stupid Kiwi."
>>
>> Ventriloquist: "Hello dog, how's it going mate?"
>>
>> Dog: "Yeah, doin' all right."
>>
>> Aussie: (look of extreme shock)

>> Ventriloquist: "Is this guy your owner?" (pointing at the Aussie)
>>
>> Dog: "Yep"
>>
>> Ventriloquist: "How does he treat you?"
>>
>> Dog: "Yeah, real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and
>> takes me to the lake once a week to play."
>>
>> Aussie: (look of utter disbelief)
>>
>> Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"
>>
>> Aussie: "Uh, the horse doesn't talk either....I think."

>> Aussie: (absolutely dumbfounded)
>>
>> Ventriloquist: "Is this your owner?" (Pointing at the Aussie)
>>
>> Horse: "Yep"
>>
>> Ventriloquist: "How does he treat you?"
>>
>> Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me
>> down often and keeps me in the shed to protect me from the elements."
>>
>> Aussie: (total look of amazement)
>>
>> Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
>>
>> Aussie: (in a panic) "The sheep's a liar.."
