Imagine an Aussie had caused you grave insult, and you wish to cause him upset by the written word, how best to insult a former Queenslander?
The sort of insult which, repeated in normal company, would rightfully earn you a bloody nose, but which, behind a keyboard, would still cause a sharp intake of breath?

I worked at a company for 5 years who had that pic blown up massive in one of the meeting rooms. I saw it every day. (They were a sponsor, so had the company name in the background) (and agreed on the *rse kit).
