Bendigo .................................................... 50,000 Kiwis meet in Eden Park for a "Kiwis Are 'Not' Stupid" Convention.
Helen Clark says, "We are all here today to prove to the world thet Kiwis are not stupid....Ken I hev a volunteer."
Carlos Spencer gingerly works his way through the crowd and steps up to the stage....Helen asks him, "What uz fufteen plus fufteen?"
After fufteen or 20 seconds Carlos blurts out, "Eighteen!"
Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then all 50,000 Kiwis start chanting, "GUV HUM ANOTHER CHANCE! GUV HUM ANOTHER CHANCE!"
Helen says, "Well sunce we've gone to the trouble of gitting 50,000 of you un one place, end we have the world wide priss end global broadcast media here, I thunk we ken guv hum another chance."
So she asks Carlos another one, "What uz sivven plus sivven?"
After nearly 30 seconds eventually says,"Ninety!"
Helen is quite perplexed, looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh, everyone is disheartened.
Carlos starts crying and the 50,000 Kiwis begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, "GUV HUM ANOTHER CHANCE! GUV HUM ANOTHER CHANCE!"
Helen, unsure whether or not she is doing both Carlos and her country more harm than good, eventually she says, "Ok! Ok! Just one more chance she asks him another one...What uz two plus two?"
Carlos closes his eyes, musters all his mental powers and after a whole minute, fires out his answer like a shot from the blue...."FOUR..!"
Throughout the stadium pandemonium breaks out as all 50,000 Kiwis jump to their feet, wave their arms, stamp their feet and scream...
