John Key at Canterbury University

Some cunning engineering students at Caterbury University managed to lure the PM in to their building with a large sign in the window saying “John mate, come for a yarn with your country’s future engineers”.

The PM diverted from his schedule to do just that, and popped in. He told them a story and said they need to “get off their arse” and study harder.

Then they challenged him to pit his best security guard against their best arm wrestler – a large student known as “Maddog”. The DPS played ball and the wrestle off occured, with a fine victory to “Maddog”. The PM did quip that if he had known of the challenge he could have bought down some truly enormous officers!
