[PW] Re: the Kokoda Test

[Phalbe Henriksen]

Peter,

Don't take offense or be defensive. I was joking. I've lived in PNG, both on 
the Papua and the New Guinea side, and I've known many Aussies. I threw this 
in as a "Friday joke." (And, if you're lucky, you'll end up in one of John's 
pomes.)

And to keep you from being offended, I offer this clip from:

"An Ocker can be . . . often strongly nationalistic in speech and outlook, 
though my impression is that tolerance and good humour are as common."

P.S. Peter, take Monday off and tell people you're celebrating the U.S.'s 
"Memorial Day," which honors all the U.S. men and women killed in action in 
all the wars we've been in. ~ PH
