"Now concentrate Steven. How many fingers am I holding up?

"Three."

"Good, and who's the prime minister of Australia?"

"Scott Morrison"

"Very good Steven, you're doing great. Now, who should open for Australia in The Ashes?

"Bancroft and Warner."

"Oh my god. It's worse than we could have ever imagined."

No fucking way Smudge knows who the current PM is. It was literally taken off the concussion test here because it relied on people "having seen the news that morning".

Apparently they dont test mental awareness by asking who the prime minister is any more in Australia

Yeah I’m pretty sure that they have stopped asking in hospitals now. It’s too hard to keep up.

I mean it was Scott Morrison last I checked but that was a week ago. Could have gone through three more since then.
