Without blinking the driver says to him 'well mate, you know the distance between LA and new york? well our outback is bigger than that. Exactly which part of the outback were you hoping to get to?'
The american said 'uhhhhh.... uluru?'
The bus driver goes 'oohhhh sure matey!!!! just around the corner! 2 blocks away!' and rolls his eyes. The tourist doesnt catch on and happily sits down. The rest of the bus were sniggering. It took the tourist about 30 mins to catch on that yes, getting to uluru might be a bit more difficult that jumping on a sydney metro bus. (try a 6 hour flight followed by an 8 hour drive).
