Aussie Bush Etiquette is recognised throughout the civilised world but we
all need to be reminded from time to time.
IN GENERAL
-Never take an open stubby to a job interview...
-Always identify people in your paddocks before shooting at them.
-It's tacky to take an Esky to church.
-If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
-Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to take
your Ute and trailer to the funeral.
EATING OUT
-When decanting wine from the box, tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so
as not to bruise the wine.
-If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with only one hand.
ENTERTAINING AT HOME
-A centrepiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a
taxidermist.
-Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
-While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private,
using ones OWN Ute keys.
-Extensive use of deodorant can only delay bathing by a few days.
-Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no, it alters the taste of
finger foods and if you are a woman it can draw attention away from your
jewellery.
THEATRE/CINEMA ETIQUETTE
-Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the movie
ends.
-Refrain from yelling abuse at characters on the screen. Tests have proven
they can't hear you.
WEDDINGS
-Livestock is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
-For the groom, at least rent a tux. A tracksuit with a cummerbund and a
clean football jumper can create a tacky appearance.
-Though uncomfortable, say 'yes' to socks and shoes for the occasion.
DRIVING ETIQUETTE
-Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if your guns loaded
and the roo's in your rifle sight.
-When entering a roundabout, the vehicle with the largest roo bar doesn't
always have the right of way. -Never tow another car using panty hose and
duct tape.
When sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it's impolite to
ask her to bring back beer too.
