If you say rise up lights out loud, it sounds like you're saying razor blades with an Australian accent. 
Edit: Um... I made a typo and then went into a meeting. Whoops

Rise up lights.

Just yesterday I watched a YouTube vlog by an Aussie who said his razor was dull, I may need to go back and watch it again.

I made a typo in the original post btw... it should be rise up lights.

Not if you say it in English.

I made a typo. Round two. Ding ding.

Is that a joke?
P.S. (non native speaker here watching the message  )
P.S. 2 (yes I know that if you have to explain a joke it is not funny anymore, so I will just pass and go to have some dinner, you don't need to explain it  )

That's OK - it wasn't funny to start with ...

I made a typo. You have to say the correct words out loud. Typo is fixed now.
Unless you're suggesting you don't find every one of my posts delightful, entertaining, and exciting?

I couldn't possibly say - I haven't read every one of your posts!

Weeeeeeellll, you're gonna kill me for the confusion. I made a typo and then went into a meeting. You're welcome.

I started walking around outside saying "right up lights" out loud, a lot.
So, I am writing this post now from my brand new padded cell, where I will be finishing out the summer in.

So yeah um.... about that. There was a typo. Probably could've saved the padded cell if I typed it out correctly. You may have lost your freedom... but I can offer you this emoji as condolences.

"rise up lights"
"razor blades with an Australian accent"
Not even similar.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Who do you expect me to believe, the Internet or an actual Aussie?
It's a joke everyone.

Yeah, it's a just play on the stereotypical accent. I'm sure there are differences in real life. Like, not everyone in the southern US has a deep twang in their accent.

Very much so. Also, the slang is the same yet different. For instance, Outback and Northern Queenslanders tend to join multiple words into one. eg: Waddaya think? = What do you think?
