What exactly is Canada?
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 03:18 PM by Richardo
It's a metaphysical question.

(OK really it's a cheap copycat of 'What exactly is Canola?') :D

1. Metaphysically speaking....
Canada is an idea...more than a geographic location.

They're a bunch of harmless pussies.

12. If you look on a map
Canada is on top,
Canada is bigger,
If we were in prison the US would be our bitch.

a propos of which

An accountant got caught with his hand in the till and was sent to prison. He is shown, all 110 pounds of him, into his cell to meet his new roommate. The roomie, 6' 8" 350 pounds, pony tail, biker tattoos and all explains to him that he has a choice. He can be the wife, or he can be the husband.

Thinking it over, our little grey friend decides that if what must be must be he should try to minimize the trauma and says that he wants to be the husband. Harley, our biker friend replies "OK, now get over here and suck your wife's dick."

13. I heard a BBC report this AM about "America" and they visited
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 03:38 PM by Gloria
Minnesota and on interview talked about the "continuum" between Canada and "Minnesota Nice."

It was a great segment, interviewed people in the city, out in a rural area with a turkey farm, Jesse Ventura, and Garrison Keillor.

Of course, I have to forgive the BBC guy for not approaching the subject of Norm Coleman....where does HE fit in???????

22. That's true in many ways
Speaking as a native Minnesotan, we've always been a little more "enlightened" and progressive than the rest of the nation (IMHO).

And don't blame us for Coleman. Listen to his accent-- he's entirely Brooklyn's fault.

:D
