There was this Australian travel agent who was trying to sell a safari - style tour. He told the customer all about seeing kangaroos and koalas in the wild. But what he failed to mention was that during the rainy season, half of the tour route would be flooded. When the customers found out, they were not too happy, but it made for a really funny story later on. The agent had to scramble to find alternative routes and activities for the customers.

Sure. One time my Aussie shepherd chased its own tail for what seemed like hours. It was so funny to watch it spin around in circles, completely oblivious to how silly it looked. Then it finally caught it and just sat there looking proud as if it had achieved a great feat.
