I went to sho cho's night club and God Damn there were so many Yalluppie's there.
or
A Yalluppie parks his brand new Porsche in front of the office to show it off to his colleagues. As he's getting out of the car, a truck comes speeding along too close to the kerb and takes off the door before speeding off.
More than a little distraught, the Yallupie grabs his mobile and calls the police. Five minutes later, the police arrive.
Before the policeman has a chance to ask any questions, the Yallupie starts screaming hysterically:
"My Porsche, my beautiful black Porsche is ruined. No matter how long at the panel beaters it'll simply never be the same again!"
After the Yallupie finally finishes his rant, the policeman shakes his head in disgust: "I can't believe how materialistic you bloody Yallupies are," he says. "You lot are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else in your life." ! "How can you say such a thing at a time like this?", snaps the Yallupie. The policeman replies, "Didn't you realise that your right arm was torn off when the truck hit you."
The Yallupie looks down in absolute horror ........."F***ING HELL!!!!!! he screams........
"Where's my Rolex ????..."
