Go to Europe. They wonder why their economy doesn't match up and they have unemployment rates above 10%, its b/c they simply don't work very hard. 2 months vacation, 30 hour or fewer weeks, it isn't hard to realize why they have fallen behind.

Mate, I need to come to Austrailia and just travel to all these cups and party. Seems like my type of people. Some of these announcers for the American feed is hilarious. One horse was described as "Being out their for a picnic"
