Overheard At Work

Overheard at work today:

Patient in the waiting area's phone rings. He picks up:
"Hello, Prime Minister."
(listens)
"Nah, just run the place would you?"
(listens)
"Ah, mate..."
(listens)
"I don't know what you said to him down there, but just pull him into line, mate."
(listens)
"Cheers, Tony."
(hangs up)

Me: O__o

Turns out he's got a friend (called Tony, but not Abbott) who is going down to Canberra for a client, and he told his friend, "May as well stay there and run the country. No one else is."

Yep, two days after electing a hung parliament in Australia and the jokes are, naturally, flying thick and fast already.
