It is well known that humour is regional, but this is the first joke that I can say is truly Tasmanian:
At a national conference of the Australian Hotels Association, the general managers of Cascade Brewery ( Tasmania ), Tooheys ( New South Wales ), XXXX ( Queensland ), CUB ( Victoria ) and Coopers ( South Australia ) found themselves sitting at the same table for lunch.
When the waitress asked what they wanted to drink, the GM of Tooheys said without hesitation, "I'll have a Tooheys New."
The head of Carlton & United smiled and said, “Make mine a VB."
To which the boss of Coopers rejoined, "I'll have a Coopers, the King of Beers."
And the bloke from XXXX asked for "a XXXX, the best beer on the planet."
The General Manager of Cascade paused a moment and then placed his order: "I'll have a Diet Coke."
The others looked at him as if he had sprouted a new head.
"Well,” he said with a shrug, “if you poofters aren't drinking beer, then neither will I."
