For all you Canadians out there, Happy Canada Day, Eh!

MadMax · 07-01-2010, 09:30 AM

I sent our Canadian Exchange Officer and email first thing this morning wishing him a happy Canada Day! I didn't realize that I am actually older than the Canadian flag (not officially adopted until 1965!).

Anyhow, happy Canada Day to all our Canuck friends!

Cheers! M2

I love our neighbors to the north! Happy Canada Day!

RedHatch08 · 07-01-2010, 02:25 PM

Whooooo!

As a Canadian living in America, I get to enjoy BOTH the 1st and 4th of JULY.

Everybody go drink some Tim Horton's coffee and/or some Molson Canadian today!

Better believe I will be...

So what do the Canadians do on this day off from work?

*tomato* · 07-01-2010, 11:02 PM

yeah, right! pulling our leg, eh?

RedHatch08 · 07-01-2010, 11:08 PM

No he's right. Then we put on our toques and build igloos.

... and whatever we do, we do it politely, eh?

*tomato* · 07-01-2010, 11:43 PM

You're right PK, it appears you do

An avid Canadian fisherman decides to cross the Peace Bridge and go over to Lewiston and fish the American side of the Niagara river. He settles down on a quiet dock and begins to fill his bucket with some nice fish when an American game warden approaches him and says,"Could I see your fishing licence please?". When he hands him his licence,the game warden laughs and says that it is no good because it is a Canadian fishing licence. At this point the fisherman replies "but i'm only catching Canadian fish". The warden scratches his head for a moment and says "what do you mean?"
The fisherman reaches in his bucket and pulls out a fish and asks the warden"what kind of fish is that?". The warden looks and says its a small mouth bass, to which the fisherman replies, "See what I mean, if it was an American fish it would be a Large mouth bass"

(just havin' a bit of fun / no harm intended

Happy Canada Day (cont'd)

Everyone knows the story of God creating the world in 6 days, and resting on the 7th....well on the 8th day, God and the angle Gabriel were looking down on the world and God says to Gabriel "I am happy with my creating Gabriel, so happy in fact that today I will create the best land in the world and I will call this land Canada. Oh Gabriel, it will be most beautiful. I will give it tall majestic mountains, and wide open prairies...I will give it not 1, not even 2, but 3 oceans...I will cover this land in rich green forests, deep blue lakes, crystal clear rivers and beautiful wild life for them to enjoy..I will let them experience all 4 seasons and I will populate this land with all different types of people...nothing but the kindest, gentlest most caring people in the world...and they shall be known as Canadians...These Canadians will be known around the world for their friendliness, and compassion for others, and will be well respected by all..they will rise up in the face of tyranny, and help crush evil that threatens the world. They will be intelligent, and use this intelligence for the good of the world...." God keeps going on like this for awhile..and this whole time Gabriel has become quite worried so finally he says.."God, I don't mean to question you, but don't you think that you may be giving these Canadians a little to much?"...God looks upon Gabriel and smiles...then says "Don't worry Gabriel....wait until you see the winters I am giving them!"

Happy Canada Day

Last but not least ...

PENIS STUDY:
The American Government funded a study to see why the head of a man's
Penis was larger than the shaft. After 1 year and $180,000, they concluded that the reason that the head was larger than the shaft was to give the man more pleasure during sex.

After the US published the study, the French decided to do their own study. After $250,000 and 3 years of research, they concluded that the reason the head was larger than the shaft was to give the woman more pleasure during sex.

Canadians, unsatisfied with these findings, conducted their own study. After 2 weeks and a cost of around $75.46, and 2 cases of beer, they concluded that it was to keep a man's hand from flying off and hitting himself in the forehead.

TLyttle · 07-02-2010, 12:07 AM

Hm, that used to be a Polish joke, and before that it was an Irish joke, and before that...

Thanks for the sentiments, people. Special 1st of July, the Queen was here in Canada; the Old Gal is still very popular with us Colonials.

*tomato* · 07-02-2010, 01:21 AM

Yeah, the jokes are lame but the sentiment is there.

Yeah I think so...

On that note didn't our military buy those used Polish submarines?

The ones with the screen doors on them?

TLyttle · 07-02-2010, 11:19 PM

No, we bought the Brit subs with the bloody great dents(!) in them. I know a refit technician who is working on the screen door problem as we speak...
