Topic: Am I really just another "Mere Male"

One evening I was sitting at a table outside a cafe on the corner of Vivian & Cuba Sts,vigourously nodding my head at people as they walked past me and I noticed this one couple who looked at me a bit odd and I said to them "I suppose you're wondering why I'm nodding my head at you?
Well,I said,I haven't been back to Wellington in quite a few years and I thought I'd better come on down and do a bit of practising,because we'd rather look you up and down than talk to you!"
Another day I was down at Wakefield Quay talking to this fella and I asked him "how do you make new friends in the big city,if you're not supposed to talk to anyone you don't know?"
And he looked me in the eye and said "what the hell are you asking me for?haven't you got any of your own friends?"

That figures, I hear it said N.Z. is such a friendly place, it might be for tourists but if you're born and bred here, it sure aint.
