Sex Wax
What is it with Aussies and eating wax?
Once you’ve been living in Joburg, away from the coast for a while, you see things in a new light. The ocean looks different, you really notice the light, and you actually, after many years, stop to smell the seaweed. And to read the words on the wax you’ve been using for years without noticing.
Why do Aussies have to be so careful to forbid surfers to eat wax? I can get the laboured thing about waxing your stick with Mrs Palmer and her Five Daughters, and the heavy handed pun on FarKing Wax, but why the warnings about eating the stuff? Is there something about Australians we just don’t get? I especially like the additional warning on the Far King Wax – “do not eat OR chew”.

Well, I hate to say it, but since the puns have already been laid on thick, I always thought surfers were a bunch of wankers.
I can’t believe the Mrs Palmer label. I think if I were a surfer I’d unwrap my wax in the shop and transfer it to a brown paper bag.
