“Try that "ignorance" stuff on the street son with me, and you'd be flat on your back in seconds. But don't worry son, you're safe behind your computer.”
You are not only ignorant, but violent as well! And, don’t call me ‘son’. I‘m probably old enough to be your grandfather, long retired from law and finance.
You don’t even mention the name of “the greatest Aussie of all time”, but tell me I’ve never heard of him. I don’t think you studied under anyone, buddy. You qualifications are all ‘my eye’, an Australian saying which fits in with your eye specialist fiction. I doubt that you have ever been to The Top End.
If the person you claim to know is Fred Hollows, I knew him personally, and my brother is a neighbour of his widow, Gabby.
Take note: if you really are an American, which I doubt (Americans of my acquaintance make polite guests in foreign countries), control your big mouth. Australian’s easy-going tolerance doesn’t extend to dropkicks and posers.
