# Exactly!
Which reminds me of an amusing anecdote from my father's travels. He went on a "lads" fishing weekend on Fraser Island with some rather uncouth individuals. One of them was a kiwi so naturally copped a fair bit. One moment that stuck in my father's memory is when one of the chaps bellowed down 100m of beach to attract the attention of the kiwi.

"HEY SHEEP-FUCKER!"

which reminds me of another old joke

# ahhahhah yes
that's a very bizarre version, I saw it a while back trawling through Feldman videos.

# My Junior High math teacher was one of his students
so he would play Tom Lehrer songs after our test periods - that is how I first heard him.
I think I have most of the available recordings...
