So many puns
In reference to a previous post, it turns out that the Lord Mayor of Melboure, John So, and his not-so-good English are liked by most:
HE is the most popular lord mayor in Australia. Every time his name was mentioned during the closing ceremony of Melbourne's Commonwealth Games, there was a deafening roar of approval that washed over Ron Walker, standing at the microphone, on its way to John So.
And only So. The Prime Minister, John Howard, was not cheered. The Victorian Premier, Steve Bracks, was not cheered. Walker, chairman of the Games organising committee, was not cheered. But just the mention of So's name rocked the MCG.
The next day, as Melbourne thanked the Games volunteers, revellers stood in the street chanting "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, So, So, So". At the Games, people wore T-shirts with the slogan "John So - he's my bro".
Brilliant. Probably only in Australia. Probably only in Melbourne.

Asian, yes. But are they born in Oz, unlike John so, my bro?
Surely the next Asian mayor (no doubt from Sunnybank) will be Asian.
