"Never Mind the Story"
A fella from the bush walked into a Sydney antique shop at the Rocks.
After looking around for a while, he noticed a very life-like bronze statue of a rat.
It had no price tag, but it was so striking that he decided to buy it anyway.
He took it to the counter and asked the shop owner: 'How much is this bronze rat ?'
The owner replied: "It's $12 for the rat, and $100 for the story."
The fella gave the owner his $12 and said:
"I'll just take the rat, you can keep the story !"
As he walked off down the street, he noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the drains and rubbish bins and begun following him.
This was a little disconcerting, so he started to walk a little faster, but within a couple of blocks the rats had grown to hundreds, and they were all squealing and screeching in a very menacing way.
He increased his speed and began running on towards Sydney Harbor.
As he ran, he looked behind him and saw the rats had now swarmed into their thousands,
and were running faster and faster.
Very concerned and wanting to rid himself of this situation, he quickly approached a pier and threw the bronze rat statue as far out into the harbor as he could.
Amazingly, the thousands of rats all jumped into the water after it .... and were all drowned.
The fella shocked with amazement quickly walked back to tell the shop owner of his ordeal, The shop owner said, "Ah, so you've come back for the story then?"
"Shit no!" said the fella,
"I’m came back to see if you've got a bronze statue of a Muslim, an Asian, a Wog, anything Aboriginal or even an Indian Spin Bowler.
