Please forgive me if you are all already familiar with this...if not, and you like Shakespeare, prepare to laugh yourself out of your chair.

The original seems to be by Richard Curtis. I have no idea what the copyright issues are, but since this can be found all over the web, it would seem that it is effectively public domain.

Yes Bill. They don't realize that it could be conscrued as a Jewish term. They think it's what the white Aussies say. The really white ones anyway.

Was 'Oi!' not a sort of punk music? Skalie would know.

I didn't think this referred to the Nazi-type skinheads, but rather the punk-type skinheads. At least, I hope so. Otherwise, I'll feel like sh*t for thinking it was funny.

Although I think that 'Oi!' has been accused of some rascism, 'Oi' is also a common way of getting attention in the UK, if you are coarse and ill-bred like me.
