I need your help.My friend was in Queensland as a youngster, and related to me some PSAs for dengue fever prevention.
An ocker old farmer walks around his station tipping over water collection points and so on, and is seen in a hospital (hat in hands) as a very ill person is wheeled off to uncertain fate, warning the viewer that "dengue c'n moik ya real crook."
The payoff line was "So, get ridda dengue now, 'ey?" in that slow 'n' easy Aussie country rumble. We both actually live in Australia now and often say this (in the requisite thick Strine) to make each other laugh. Just something about the rhythm of the phrase, the thick accent, the word "dengue".
But... I've never actually SEEN it. Please help this pitiful wretch find his long lost funnymaker.
