Sydney:
Australian prime minister Scott Morrison has broken his silence on a persistent rumour that he soiled himself in a McDonald’s restaurant more than 20 years ago, insisting Thursday it was “utter rubbish.”
Social media customers have extended bandied about a tale that the now-leader soiled himself at the quick-meals outlet in suburban Sydney immediately after watching his favourite rugby league group, the Cronulla Sharks, shed the grand final in 1997.
While becoming interviewed on a breakfast radio show about his conservative government’s coronavirus response, Morrison abruptly decided to squash the rumour — which has turned “Engadine Maccas” into online folklore.
“Hey, can I clear up one thing with you guys from ages ago?” he asked the KIIS 1065 radio hosts, who confirmed he was preparing to go over defecation.
“It is the biggest urban myth ever, it never happened. It is complete and utter rubbish,” Morrison mentioned
“I found the whole thing incredibly amusing, and we’ve always joked about it… as I’ve driven past it on occasion, do you wanna pop in for a Big Mac?”
Morrison went on to insist once more that the story was false.
“Some of the funniest yarns are the ones that aren’t true, and that’s one of them.”
