    • Sydney - Emu Oil, medicinal wonder!
  • Emu Oil, medicinal wonder!

    • OK, you caught me being a wise guy again. This is a joke warning.

    I saw a fellow selling "emu oil" at the Rocks. I started laughing to myself, when I thought of the concept of "oiling an emu". When I asked him how often one should oil his emu, he looked at me as if I were daft.

    "Just kiddin' mate", I said.

    Actually, this Emu Oil stuff appears to be a modern, Aussie equivalent of "snake oil" in the 19th century American west. It's some sort of medicinal stuff that will (according to the signs) cure just about anything.

    I decided to pass on the opportunity for eternal health. I was afraid that using Emu Oil on an empty stomach might grease my goose, so to speak.
