On a lighter note, I recently overheard the following conversation between an Australian family arriving into New Zealand and the Customs Officer:
Customs Officer: “I see here that you’ve put your occupation as Dairy Farmer…” He pauses and looks up.
Farmer, nodding: “Yeah mate, that’s not a problem is it?”
Customs Officer: “Well, I also see that for the question ‘Have you been on a farm or in contact with livestock in the last thirty days?’, you’ve ticked ‘No’.”
Farmer: “Oh… Does that count our property too?”
The Customs Officer and Dairy Farmer look at each other awkwardly. Farmer, despite his best efforts, is genuinely not comprehending the problem. The Officer fails to remain calm.
Officer: “Are you stupid?”
