While visiting Perth, Australia Seaman
Schmuckatelli got in real good with a gal he met down under. Over a matter of
years, he had made his way over to meet his love whenever possible and they
finally decided to tie the knot. On his last visit to the land down under, he
was to meet and greet with the family. While sitting at the table, his future
wife got up to use the lady’s room when he said …
“Get your little fanny back over here!”
… not realizing that in their culture the “fanny”
was a reference to the vagina and not the butt! As you can imagine, there were
lots of gasps and wide-open eyeballs around the room. His future wife explained
the misunderstanding to the family and they all had a laugh. That was until
they went to the other room to check on her nieces and nephews, in which
Schmuckatelli says …
“What a bunch of little buggers they are!”
Once again the family gets all wide-eyed and
beside themselves as the term bugger refers to “buttfucker” in the Anglo-Australian
culture. Not wanting the family to hang her future husband before she gets a
chance to marry him, she once again quickly explains away the cultural
differences and how our protagonist was ignorant of this fact. As everyone was
about to leave and they all bid their farewells, our sailor puts up a peace
sign to the family as he heads to the car… and that’s when the fun started! He
got a good ol’ Royal Australian ass whoop’n!
As his future wife dragged him into the car
kick’n and scream’n …
“What the hell is everyone so upset about?”
“You dumb Yank! Don’t you realize in
Australia that’s the same as the middle finger x two?!?
Needless to say, they never got married …
WHen I was on the San Bernardino, we had a Deck SN that hooked up with a rather well off Austrailian lady in Brisbane. She was so enamored with him that she FLEW by commercial air line to every port, and was waiting for him whenhe walked of the shkp.
