When Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson were at the height of their fame they were interviewed together on Australian Television. At one point the interview asked Lillee
"Tell me, Dennis, what would you do if you discovered you only had thirty minutes to live?"
Lillee replied, "I'd make love to the first thing that moved"
The interviewer turned to Thomson and said "And what would you do Jeff/"
Thommo replied, "I wouldn't move for half an hour"
