I asked somebody in New South Wales if his area had been affected by the Tonga volcano. He said no, and asked me whether we were suffering from a polar vortex. I said that they were getting hammered up north, but here in Missouri we were living the life of Riley. Then I had to explain what it meant.

 

He replied, “Ah. In Australia, we’d say, ‘Nah, mate, we’re Mickey Mouse.’”
