I was travelling to SYD three weeks ago on the same flight I've already talked about in another thread, and the flight had been tiring.
Soon before landing two female cabin crew members took their seats in front of me. I was talking with my friend about New Zealand one of the FAs kindly enquired about where we were from.
I answered we were italian and we started talking about New Zealand and Australia. Nothwithstanding She looked asian she was australian. We discussed about some of the main issues about driving in Australia (driving on the left and so on), and we ended up talking about the risks a driver could face in Australia because of wild animals crossing the roads.
Unexpectedly, while I was telling them I usually ask for the full insurance when renting a car, she said "It happened to me to kill a kangaroo while driving with my car and it was damaged". There was a minute of astonishment, since probably neither me, my friend, our neighbour and her colleague were prepaired to hear so...
I confess I was going to laugh out loud, guessing the scene in my mind. Our neighbour looked at us in an amused way, and I thought the italian sentence "donna al volante, pericolo costante" (woman driving, constant risk) fitted very well with the situation. (I apologize with all the female SQtalkers. Please forgive me for my evilness).
Her colleague seemed very amused too, but the best came when the former said "I felt sooooo guilty"... her tone was so sophisticated and factitious that was so difficult for us to believe that and all of us started smiling.
What we cannot foresee was the final revelation... We all thought she felt so guilty thinking of the poor kangaroo but, no, she felt so guilty because "the car I was driving belonged to a friend of mine and I didn't know how to tell her"!!!!
I think there are no more comments to do.

Pity, I've never had the opportunity to try kangaroo meat.
