How About Some Cheese

How about some cheese? the Aussie said to the new employee. Which kind would you like? Cheddar? Pepper jack? American? Definitely not American. Do you have Provolone? The other guys laughed. They were toying with this American. Cheese means money over here, one of them said to the new guy. The new guy kept his thoughts to himself, but he listened hard now. Figuring out who the instigators were. Was their teasing clean fun or bullying? A latecomer began gesturing frantically as he entered the office. Upon seeing this display, the new guy decided to introduce himself. “I am your new manager,” he told them “Feel free to call me the Big Cheese.”

Hmm...I do love cheese, but it's never brought me any money.

In Australia cheese is used like we use "bread" for money.
