Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

Just wondering if I was downvoted because people don't get the joke (it's a famous quote from the Princess Bride) and thought I was calling all Australians criminals? Or because humour has no place on HN?

You need to provide a reference to a peer-reviewed study proving that your joke is funny.

The older I get, the more I realize this fantastic trope is true.
