This reporter was not ready for man's response about what he did at the weekend

Most of us use the weekend to rest, play and forget about all our responsibilities.

Reporter Natalia Cooper was handing out $50 (£28) to a commuter at a Sydney train station for Australia’s Today show.

As she did so, she asked one man about what he did at the weekend.

His response?

I punched a few cones.

Er…

If you’re not from Australia, you’re probably thinking he spent the weekend punching these:

But it turns out that 'punching the cone' is an Australian colloquialism for smoking Marijuana from a bong.

To say the reporter was flustered would be an understatement. She patted him on the shoulder and, visibly shocked, told him she was leaving him where he was.

The funny exchange was not missed by eagle-eyed viewers who took to Twitter.
