Funny Stories From Our Lives




Throughout our lives we have heard many funny stories, been in many funny situations and known a lot of characters.

Our family has a kind of tradition of telling funny yarns. The whole family seems to have the ability to look at the funny side of almost any situation.

When we get together there is a kind of friendly rivalry to see who can have the others laughing the most. The winner (and I think the rest of the siblings would agree) is definitely our brother Mark, although we are all fairly good at telling a funny yarn, Mark has a gift for finding hilarity in any situation and the ability to place the punch of the story perfectly.

Our father was a great yarn teller, (the beginner of the family tradition) as kids we would all love to hear the old man telling yarns, we could sit and listen to his jokes and stories all day, he had hundreds.

The Australian sense of humour tends to be quite unique and most Aussies aren't particularly fazed by swearing, our father swore like a bullock driver (an Australian expression) as do a lot of bush characters, so some of our stories must be told in the way they happened which can include colourful language.

(We do not wish to offend anyone of a sensitive nature so please be aware that some of the funny true stories in this section contain swear words.)
