G'day and G'bye

A list of things overheard following the end of the Australian Open:

1. "Well, now if anyone suffers heat exhaustion, it's not on our watch."
2. "I'd like to trade in my tennis racket for a boomerang."
3. "I really like that Roger Sampras guy."
4. "In a related story, 2 CIA agents were dispatched to the men's final to investigate the participant whose name contained the word Baghdad...or something like that...he wasn't a threat, it's just a reflex."
5. "I got 2 discount tickets for the mixed triples final."
6. "No, a kangaroo can't be part of the trophy presentation."
7. "Well, Belgium owed France a few favors anyway."
8. "Maybe we should close the roof BEFORE players succumb to the sweltering heat."
9. "Paul Hogan was NOT a former Australian tennis great."
10. "It's not over folks! We now commence the Australian squash, racquetball, and badminton Open!"
