Let me share a story with you all.
I recently came back from Sydney Australia, and while i was there, i heard the funniest story from a Gentleman about the age of 60 named "Graham" (you can't get a more obvious Australian name than that). He was a personal friend of a Friend, who picked us up from a party i went to.
He asked us if we were Macedonian just like this mutual friend of ours. Then he started telling me how he was a Greek Orthodox. I could not help bursting out laughing when i heard this old, pale skinned, dinky di speaking aussie man saying what he did thinking it was a joke.
But he was serious.
After he looked at my face that had this What the fuck look about me, he went on to explain how this happened.
He was not born as a Greek Orthodox. Once upon a time, He fell in love with a Greek girl and he decided to propose to her. Her reaction was "oh no no no you are not grik so its not possible". To cut a long story short "Graham" the OKA speaking,the VB, pie with sauce loving Aussie, got baptised in a Greek church so he can then marry this grik girl.
But i am sad to say, this relationship between aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi "Graham" and this grik girl, no longer exists. It was destined to fail since church and politics came before love for this grik girl. But then there was a happy ending. Good old "Graham" is now married to a Russian girl who did not care what religion he was and they now both live happily ever after. ohhhhhhhhh
Now can i ask some questions,
- ARE GREEKS FOR REAL
- Now that Graham was baptised in a greek orthodox church, does this make him a Grik?
- Going by greek mentality Macedonia is greek, Does it make him more Macedonian than me?
- Should Graham have first been told just like the Albanians were told in the early 1830's that he was a son of particulor ancient Hellenes?
- Just like those past Albanians, would Graham not have had the faintest idea what they are talking about?
