There has always been a certain amount of good natured and not so good natured rivalry between Australia and NZ , and of course the Australian sense of humour tends to be a bit rough at times
A very busy maternity hospital ward had a rush of business, and in the confusion, 3 babies didn't get the name tag bracelets.
The Smiths were Aussies. The Jones's were Aussies( aboriginal) and the Smythes were from New Zealand.
The head Doctor was apologising to Mr Smith, and asked him if he could pick out his infant.
Mr Smith promptly picked out the Jones's baby.
The Doc said, ahem, would you like to try again, that's obviously the Jones baby.
Mr Smith said no thanks, I'm not taking any chances of picking the Kiwi
