Shane Dies: A Typically Funny Australian Joke
Three Aussie guys, Shane, Ricky and Jeff, were working on a high-rise building project in Wagga Wagga. Unfortunately, Shane falls off the scaffolding and is killed instantly.
As the ambulance takes the body away, Ricky says, 'Someone should go and tell his wife.'
Jeff says, 'OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it.'
Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Fosters.
Ricky says, 'Where did you get that, Jeff?'
'Shane's wife gave it to me.'
Ricky continues, 'That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you the beer?'
'Well not exactly,' Jeff said. 'When she answered the door, I said to her, "You must be Shane's widow".'
She said, 'No, I'm not a widow.'
And I said, 'I'll bet you a case of Fosters you are.'

Funny story.
But I was surprised when I was in Australia a few years back to find out that you can't buy Foster's beer there. It's strictly an export product.

It must be my fault I have been drinking it all - it is one of the more expensive beers in our bars.
A similar joke
A Captain learns that Pvt Masters mother passed away and was informed to notify the Pvt. But he had other duties right away so he called in the Sgt in charge of Pvt Master and informed him he was to notify the Pvt. but the Capt said I know you sometimes are a little uncouth and ragged around the edge about being respectful, so notify him in a dignified manner.
So the Sgt holds the morning formation but before he dismisses the group he says 'I would like to all those present to take one step back who have a mother still alive'. Hey you - Pvt Master- not you!'
Ya, very cute indeed. In the UK we use to get Fosters Beer and Castlemain 4xxxx commercials on TV. They were all quite hilarious. Shame we don't get em anymore!!!!
So, Jack Nickolson is into photography. How about that!!!!!!!!!
