A good effort and a life with no laugh is no life.
Dry wit is also rampant here in South Africa and I think that it's left overs from the wars with the Europeans. As you know a bunck of convicts were put on a ship and sent to Aus many years ago, so that must have been the origin in your case.

Yeah, convict heritage can have a strange effect. I have two in my family ancestry...Pretty proud of them actually. Served 20 years at Port Arthur Penal Colony back in the mid-1800's and survived. ✅
Yeah, you should be proud of them, as a great country sprang from the convicts efforts.
A similar event developed from the Brits that left on the Mayflower ship to develop a new world in the USA.
Amazing what a group of people with no modern infrastructure could get up to.
