Modern Vespa

I can't help but notice that both Touring 300 and Jet Peddler have photos of our Prime Minister Jacinta Adern as their avatar. I suspect Znomit has joined the trend as a loyal New Zealander. Any reason?

....over to you Znomit

It's international Jacindamania day.

Four old retired Australian guys are walking down a street in Yuma, Arizona. They turn a corner and see a sign that says, "Old Timers Bar - ALL drinks 10 cents." They look at each other, and go in thinking this is too good to be true.

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the Room, "Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll It be, gentlemen?"

There's a fully stocked bar, so each of the men orders a Martini. The bartender serves up four iced Martinis and says, "That'll be 10 Cents each, please." The guys stare at the bartender for a moment, then at each other; can't believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis and order another round. Again, four martinis for 40 cents. They need to know what's going on. One said to the bartender, "We've each had two martinis and haven't even spent a Dollar yet. How can you afford to serve Martinis as good as these for a dime apiece?"

"I'm a retired tailor from Phoenix ," the bartender says, "and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this Place. Every drink costs a dime. Wine, liquor, beer - it's all the same..."

"Wow! That's some story!" one of the Ozzies says.

As the four sip at their martinis, they can't help noticing a group of seven people at the end of the bar who don't have any drinks in front of them, and haven't ordered anything the whole time they've been there.

Nodding at the group, one of the men asks the bartender, "What's with them?" He replies, "They're retirees from New Zealand, and waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price."

All the cool kids are doing it.

No comment.

First time for everything!

THAT was a mistake!

I come from a land down under.

Where Touring glows, and znomit thunders.

JKJ you quick-change artist you.

I dunno, seems like you guys got better-looking all of a sudden.

I heard Touring and znomit both favor me, but this is ridiculous!

Good one! I may switch in different nationalities in the retelling if that's Ok?

I fear the retired tailor/bartender has it wrong. They may be retired New Zealanders but he has failed to listen to them as they roll their Rs... they are just canny with money, unlike those spendthrift Australians.

We only want you for your scooter squadron.

Awww... You DO love me.

I really don't think they said that.
