Yeah, it's true... I was hoping that I could get something going for "In upside-down Australia..." jokes.

I don't think you an use "does you". If you want to do that joke, it needs to be different enough from the soviet Russia jokes.

**kestegs** · 14-05-2012, 13:24

Or maybe "in time traveling Australia" jokes?

**Jcakes** · 14-05-2012, 13:34

I think I prefer upside down.

**kestegs** · 14-05-2012, 14:27

There's too many good choices, that's the real problem.

So I would say "in upside down Australia" and then the punchline is the inverse of a normal situation that is funny? So something that unfolds the opposite way, but in a way that makes it funny?

That sounds pretty good actually. I'd need an example though.

An example would be (from an Americans point of view)

In upside down Australia, people drive on the left. (not a particularly funny statement, but there you go).
