I Am Canadian
AMUSING ANECDOTES ABOUT BEING CANADIAN...BY A. NONYMOUS
So, What Do We Canadians Have To Be Proud Of ?
1. Colored candies called "Smarties".
2. More candy called, "Crispy Crunch", and "Coffee Crisp".
3. We've got bigger football fields than Americans, one less down, and bigger balls.
4. baseball is Canadian - First game June 4, 1838 - Ingersoll, ON
5. Lacrosse is Canadian.
6. Hockey is Canadian.
7. Basketball is Canadian.
8. Apple pie is Canadian.
9. "Mr. Dress-up" beats "Mr. Rogers" hands-down!
10. "Tim Hortons" is more popular than "Dunkin' Donuts"!
11. In the war of 1812, (started by the Americans), the Canadians got a little ticked and a bit red under the collar, which meant the Americans were obliged to beat a retreat ...way past their White House. While the Americans won't admit it ...things went sideways from then on. Frankly, if truth be told, we got bored when the Americans didn't like losing their marbles and ran away. Then, we came home and partied!
12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany.
13. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere. EVER. (We may have been clobbered in the odd battle but the truth is, we've never been defeated!)
14. Our civil war was fought in a bar and lasted a little over an hour.
15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary; he slept in and missed the whole thing. Then, he showed up just in time to get caught.
16. A Canadian invented Standard Time.
17. The Hudson's Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the world's oldest company.
18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes. (That's more information than I need to chow down on my next meal!)
19. We know what to do with the parts of a buffalo.
20. We don't marry our kin-folk.
21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis and the telephone. Also short wave radios that save countless lives each year.
22. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
23. A Canadian invented Superman.
24. We have coloured money...no, it's not "funny money"!
25. Our beer advertisements kick *** (incidently...so does our beer!)
BUT MOST IMPORTANT!
The handles on our beer cases are big enough to accommodate your hands with mitts on.
OOOoohhhhh.... Canada!!
