Now It's My Turn tomartyr
50,000 Kiwis meet in Eden Park for a "Kiwis are not
stupid" convention. Helen Clark says, "We are all
here today to prove to the world thet Kiwis are not
stupid. Ken I hev a volunteer?"
A volunteer gingerly works his way through the crowd
and steps up on the stage. Helen asks him, "What uz
fufteen plus fufteen?"
The volunteer scratches his head and says, "Eighteen."
Obviously, everyone is disappointed. Then all 50,000
Kiwis start chanting, "GUV HUM ANOTHER CHANCE!
GUV HUM ANOTHER CHANCE."
Helen says, "Well, sunce we've gone to the trouble uv
gitting 50,000 uv you un one place end we have world
wide priss end global broadcast media here, I thunk we
ken guv hum another chance."
So she asks, "What uz sivven plus sivven?"
After nearly 30 seconds he answers, "Ninety."
Helen is quite perplexed, looks down and lets out a
dejected sigh - everyone is disheartened. Suddenly
the crowd starts waving their hands and shouting,
"GUV HUM ANOTHER CHANCE! GUV HUM ANOTHER
CHANCE!"
Helen, unsure if she is doing more harm than good says,
"OK, OK just one more chance... what uz two plus two?"
The volunteer closes his eyes and after a whole minute,
says, "Four."
Through the stadium pandemonium breaks out as all
50,000 Kiwis wave their arms, stamp their feet and scream,
'GUV HUM ANOTHER CHANCE! GUV HUM ANOTHER
CHANCE!"
