Is this an international day or something?

Is this an international day or something?

 

No ..its the 1 st June.

Each year the 1st June is known as Gypsy day as its the day that farms change hands and sharemilkers move from one property to another , and set themselves up for the next season.

Its a rural thing and most townies wouldnt even have a clue it was going on unless they were travelling and got held up by all the stock trucks.

Funny, I couldn't find any mention of that on Google.

 

Taihape is NZ's gumboot tossing capital. Note - they don't claim world status. ;)

They may have dropped the "world" though I thought they still claimed it.

 

It's on in April, Easter I think.

 

Bricks too.

 

Now Singleton has the national wife carrying championships, there's an event.

I thought the Kiwis used the gumboots for another reason..........something about stopping the sheep from getting away;););)

So it has nothing to do with them throwing their babies at you and stealing your wallet?????????????:D:D

There were 3 Aussie blokes and one Kiwi farmer in a king cab truck driving in New Zealand on Gypsy day.

 

The first man is an ecologist. The second man is a logician. The third man is a mathematician.

They all see a brown cow on the side of the road parallel to the truck.

The ecologist says, "Look! The cows in New Zealand are brown.".

The logician says, "No no. There is at least one cow in NZ that is brown."

 

The mathematician says, "You're both wrong. There is at least one cow in New Zealand of which one side appears to be brown."

 

The Kiwi farmer says "Ohhh look over there sex sheep!!! :eek:

 

chuuzzz cuzzzie brozzz

:cool:

Which is exactly why those NZ farmers glue one wellington boot on top of the other...

 

There is no getting away from it, we all have to admit,

 

Ewe just can't beat that Kiwi ingenuity! :D
