NZers sometimes call New Zealand ‘Godzone’…which I think derived from the mumbly Kiwi accent. When we say ‘gods own’ ( as in ‘gods own country’) it sounds like we are saying ‘godzone’… anyways, on some days, like today when we walked through the bush near Raglan, it feels pretty much like godzone.
A friend – Mike – told me a good related joke on a call the other day…
…there was a NZer walking through the bush in NZ and he sees God walking casually down the path towards him…
NZer: “god! what are you doing here?!!!”
and god replies “…working from home mate!”
…pretty much sums it up.
