He has said the funniest things over time, this Aussie I know, that I have to repeat them for others to enjoy these gems, pockets of wisdom. In relation to astronomy he had this revelation to save Earth from a near Armageddon like catastrophe from an incoming comet. "Throw a pinpoint at it".
He was one of the first to be breath tested (positive) during the day when the police started targeting daytime drink/drivers. He was interviewed by a current affairs program of the time and when the interviewer asked him what he thought of being the first to be caught for drink driving. He replied "What do you think, I am ashamed of myself".
When calling his daughter to dinner, he could be heard to say, when he was in a playful mood. "Steffo's want some din dins?"
When coming out of the toilet one day at home, he was heard to say in a serious voice. "God spoke to me". With the intent that he lift his game, get back on track and stop drinking so much.
This one he has been known to say to friends and family upon them coming over and him answering the door. "Go away, we don't want any".
When his partner was at the fridge bending over, he suggestively came up behind her and said "Just parking mumma"
One day he came to his grandson's door, when he was staying over and he just came out with "Magic word". He didn't know what to think when he said that, he was just looking at him strangely, when he then said "food". Meaning dinner was ready.
One his daughters was eating some greasy food one day on the couch when she was younger and he saw her wiping her greasy fingers on the lounge and said to her "don't wipe your fingers on the couch". She replied, "I wasn't". He then said, "yes you were". "You were using it as sweeping bowl".
