Penrith
No matter how you feel, you still take notice when someone mentions your name. The same thing happens when someone tells a story about a place that you have been - somehow the story appears to be more important.
Well Spike (from the SMH) had an entry about Penrith on Tuesday. I was born in Nepean Hospital (in Penrith!) and lived nearby during my "formative" years so a news story about Penrith grabs my attention. Anyway it appears (and I quote):
Penrith locals are well known for their passions, like cable skiing across the man-made lakes at Panthers World of Entertainment. But little did Spike realise what a bunch of romantics Penrithians were. According to sales figures for Harlequin Mills & Boon books, Penrith is the publisher's strongest market in Sydney.
With a story like that, who needs a punchline?
