Paraphrasing a reported conversation in an unnamed low-lying coastal
northern european country...

Customs official: Good morning sir.
An Australian traveller: G'day
Custom's official: ...
Custom's official: ...
Custom's official: and why are you entering the country?
An Australian traveller: I'm 'ere for th' workshop of th' European
Distributed Institute of Taxonomy ... yada yada yada...  international
agreement... yada yada yada... technical collaboration... yada yada
yada...  taxonomists... yada yada yada... taxanomy... yada yada
yada... research... yada yada yada...  taxonomic... yada yada yada...
Customs official: I have no idea what taxonomy is.  I was going to say
'have a nice day', but somehow I do not think that is going to happen.
