Remember, it is always better to look good than to ski good

Had a great weekend in Sydney. I think life will be a whole lot more interesting and amusing if I just give you snipits of conversations that occurred over the weekend. You'll get the idea.

US Consulate man: Have you ever committed a crime or been arrested?

Ben: That clock is a triangle.
Tiph: What you mean is that clock is in the shape of a triangle. It cannot be both a clock and a triangle at the same time.
Ben: No, that clock is a triangle.

*Tiph's Heather demonstrates that 4 wheel driving is possible in the city*

Rosie: That sounds like Ben, does someone want to let him in?
Tiph: Why would we want to do a silly thing like that?

Josh: Want to hear the tune I made up on my microscopic harmonica? (for the gazillionth time)

Troy: Where did you come from?
Tiph: Brisbane.

Tiph's Heather: Who's Michael on the phone with?
Michael: (to Tiph's Heather) Ryan.
Tiph: Tell Ryan he's a bum for not being here while I'm hear.
Michael: (to phone) Tiph says she loves you.
Ben: (to Michael's phone) Passionately.

Refalo: When you throw the dart, it looks like a drunk ballerina.

That, and many other exciting things occurred. The Consulate accepted everything I said and will be issuing my visa shortly (suckers!!). They also only fingerprinted my index fingers, so if I plan to break in anywhere I just have to make sure I don't touch anything with my index fingers. Only 5 weeks left now. Getting closer!!
