>senior in high school >social, play football, no real problems >recently start playing vidya >hear about a new kid moving from a different country >no one knows where hes from >barely talks in class or anywhere for that matter >he’s 6'4" and ripped as fuck >we play football alongside one another >ask if he wants to hang out one day >he says yea and gives me his address >come over next day >nothing out of the ordinary >thinking "where the fuck is he from and why does he barely speak english" >ask if he can speak my language >he smiles and hands me a vegemite sandwich >mfw he comes from a land down under

A greentext story shows a high-school student befriending a tall, muscular, quiet new student who has moved from another country. The punchline is that the student realizes he is Australian when he is handed a Vegemite sandwich, referencing the song lyric “a land down under” and the stereotype of Vegemite as an Australian food. It is sent as an absurd reaction to discovering someone’s obvious nationality through a stereotypical clue.
