RE: Trip to Australia???

OK - a little story someone told me, and no offence intended to the
Bruce's & Sheila's Down Under !  :-)


Someone told me they were in the customes & immigration check line after
flying in to Oz.
One of the questions they were asked was whether they had ever been
convincted of a criminal offense.
This persons answer was "I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that was still a
requirement !".

I don't believe the immigration officer thought it was funny.
