Life In Canada:


Pizza gets to your house faster than an ambulance


There are handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
 
Drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

People order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a diet coke.

Banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counter.
 
We leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

We use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

We buy hot dogs in packages of 12 and buns in packages of 8.

We use the word "politics" to describe the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures".

We have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

Hey!!  That's how we do it in America, too.  Except we have ten hot dogs and tweve buns.   ;D  Or eight hotdogs, depending on what brand you buy.  But never the same number.   
   It is wonderful!!
   Don't forget cable TV!! We can get five hundred channels and not a damn thing worth watching on.


NPR is a lot like NASCAR.  Two hundred miles an hour in a circle, and you end up right back where you started with nothing but lost time for the effort.

I am soooooooo moving to Canada.   I'm really sick of having to drive like a maniac to catch the stupid ambulance.

Let SR drive and tell her they have sales coupons in it.  Two, three blocks, tops. ;D
