Excerpts from an email I received that I would like to share:
These questions were posted on an International tourism website about Canada:
Q) I have never seen warm weather on Canadian TV, how do the plants grow? (UK)
A) We import all of our plants fully grown just to sit around and watch them die.
Q) Will we see Polar Bears in the street? (USA)
A) Depends on how much you've been drinking.
Q) I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto- can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden)
A) SURE, it's only four thousand miles, take lots of water........
Q)Are there any ATM's (cash machines) in Canada? Can you send me a list of them in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Halifax? (UK)
A) What did your last slave die of?
Q) Can you give me information on hippo racing in Canada? (USA)
A) A-fri-ca is a big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Ca-na-da is the big country just to your north....oh f*** it. SURE, there's hippo racing every Tuesday night in Calgary, come naked.
Q) Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada? (USA)
A) Only at Thanksgiving
Q) I was in Canada in 1969 on R&R, and I want to contact a girl I dated while I was staying in Surrey, BC. Can you help? (USA)
A) Yes, and you still have to pay her by the hour.
Q) Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)
A) Yes, but you will have to learn it first
I mean no disrespect to our friends from the south, I have family from there (I make fun of them too) I mean it as good natured.
Cheers!
