Three blokes - a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden and an Aussie engineer
were all working together one day when they come across a lantern and a
Genie popped out of it. 'I will give each of you one wish, which is
three wishes in total' said the Genie.
The Canadian said, 'I am a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the
land to be forever fertile in Canada.' POOOOFF! With the blink of the
Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.
Osama bin Laden was amazed, so he said, 'I want a wall around
Afghanistan, Israel, Palestine, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels,
Americans or Australians can come into our precious state.'
POOOFF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall
around those countries.
The Aussie Engineer said: 'I am very curious. Please tell me more about
this wall.'
The Genie explained, 'Well, it's about 5000 feet high, 500 feet thick
and completely surrounds the country. Nothing can get in or out - it's
virtually impenetrable.'
The Aussie engineer sat down, cracked open a beer, smiled and said,
'Fill it with water'.........(g) ?.HUh?

Please note that this does not necessarily express my own world views!!!!!
I get these kinds of jokes all of the time from my Aunt and Uncle. This one is nowhere near as bad as they can get though.
I hope I'm not being too outspoken in my beliefs?.:)
At the worst, they are eye-roll worthy. I'm not one to get offended by jokes at all.
That's the basic idea though, he thinks if they all drowned then peace will be forever in the world.
Not at all a romantic idea haha
Reading this and the comments really made me smile. Not so much about the contents of the actual joke but about what people saw first.
As an Aussie, this first thing that came to mind was that it seemed very 'Aussie' to take the easy way out of anything. We (as a general rule) are a very laid back and easy going lot over here. Being geographically distant can give us a slightly skewed look on life. (Hence the lateral thinking) The fact is that there's a number of Aussie soldiers involved in the conflict in the middle east that would probably rather not be there but would rather be home with a beer and this seems like the eaay way out.
I saw it more as an inditement on my nationality than anything else and it certainly brought a chuckle.
