Aussie Army Knife

 The mate you can't be without on any walkabout

In case of an outback croc attack just snap out its one foot Dundee blade. After that close shave, have another or shear some sheep with the razor attachment. Confronted by a fifty year old eucalyptus in your path? Cut it down in a jiffy with the 18 speed, pedal-driven, chain saw. The enclosed XL fly swatter can also be used as a barbecue grill and screen door. The knife's handle folds out to a boomerang with roo bar to daze crazed kangaroos. On the beach you'll make use of the combination shark hook - corkscrew. On the hunt in the city, your tool will impress the girls...even more so when you take it out of your pants, apply gentle pressure downunder and out pops its economy pack condom dispenser. But before you go to bed, screw the hook-corkscrew into the back of the boomerang and presto! a coat hanger for your raincoat.

       What a ripper.

       I assume it also has fold-out wheels and a handle to pull it along by.

       No wuckers.

       Can I have a Scottish Army knife? Just a bottle opener and a 30ft, 150lb toothpick (for cleaning teeth, or tossing at the Sassies).

       I'm wondering why you need a corkscrew. If you really *must* have wine (for the Sheilas, I suppose), don't you just push the cork *into* the bottle?
—angel, May 23 2002
   

       Apparently, a good bump on the bottom of a wine bottle (eg against a tree) will pop the cork out - something due to different speeds of sound through wine and glass.. The drawback is that the quick sharp hit is very similar to the force needed to smash the bottle.

       Strewth maate, surely there should be some barbie tongs too ?

       i had the misfortune of visiting Australia Zoo on Sunday here in Queensland. We arrived late and missed the croc show, but they still made us pay $27 to wander about the U Bewt gift shops - filled with plastic effigies of Steve Irwin shouting "Crikey" when u pressed his chest. All the animals looked as unimpressed as those who payed to get in.

       [neilp] those would be the 'tweezers' in the handle
