'CUSTOMS CHECK'

Scene – in line at Customs, Melbourne International Airport.

Abe: Good morning madam. Is this your first visit to Australia?
Alga & Arnie: We’re from Austria!
Abe: Australia! Not Austria.
Alga & Arnie: Sorry.
Enu: Yes – it’s my first time.
Abe: Well let me give you the traditional Aussie welcome – G’day!
Enu: Then I should give you a traditional welcome too.
(Enu grabs Abe’s head and rubs her nose with his. Abe freaks out.)
Abe: What are you doing?
Enu: It was just a traditional Eskimo welcome. When we meet, we rub noses.
Abe: That seems a little weird.
Alga: Not really. If you were stuck out in the snow all day, wouldn’t your nose need a little thawing out.
Abe: I suppose so. Well, do you have anything to declare?
Enu: Declare?
Arnie: He means do you have anything for Customs?
Enu: Customs – of course. Traditionally we live in an igloo and the hunter always gets to eat the raw liver of the freshly killed seal.
All: Yuk.
