quicko: no napkin nation

Australia really doesn't do napkins.  Well, okay, occasionally for especially sticky occasions they'll whip out some white squares but they'll insist on calling them "serviettes," and quickly put them away afterwards lest anyone wish to use one at another meal.  Paper towers are around, too, but not nearly as omnipresent as in America.  Restaurants and fast food joints will generally provide nap--er, serviettes, but on the whole the Australians just can't be bothered to get them out.
