Scene: tea-table, philosophy department, 1998, during the Commonwealth Games at which Australia was wiping the floor with all other nations (winning damn near HALF of all gold medals available).

Zengum: Really, there's not much point beating up on tiny nations with tiny GDPs and no sports budget.
New Zealand Colleague: Oh, we have to keep the Commonwealth Games. It gives Australia a chance to pretend it's America.
ZG: Oh, it does something far more important than that.
NZC: Oh really, what's that?
ZG: It gives New Zealand a chance to pretend it's Australia.

Bwahahahaaahaaa. She walked staight into that one.
