Kiwi Humor

Kiwis have a quick sense of humor, particularly if it's at the expense of themselves or especially Australians, but are probably most clever with their marketing and advertising attention-grabbers.  For example, Kelli spoted a sand-blasting company in Wellington whose slogan was, "We take it all off."  I love the car service named "Twinkle Tows and Tyres."  Bill spotted one of the Wicked Van rentals that are air-brushed in a variety of wild designs (obviously they appeal to young people) with the quip, "I'm not called horse because of my teeth."   I also like the ladies' dress shop called, "T' da."  It's even fun to watch the commercials here on the telly.  There are some very clever ones that we still enjoy after multiple viewings such as the one for a senior supplement that states, "we support performance, not miracles.

Here is what might be loosely defined as "folk art."  I don't think it's meant to be funny, but it makes us laugh everytime we pass it.  I'm sure we drove past twenty times before I spotted it, so you may have to look closely. There's a tree in the way, so feel free to zoom - and yes, those are two exclamation points at the end!!  Is Vince bragging or advertising?
