You're talking about Quebec , right ?!?

I guess I should be offended after laughing so hard.

The real question is, Who else would you want next to you?

canada can bite my ass.  

DP...

The answer of course is...............NOBODY!!!



Unless you could make it a country of sex starved gorgeous women!!!!


Oh Quebec counts as well......but unfortunately they are still part of Canada!!  You guys want them???

NOBODY is the correct answer.  And you can keep Quebec, we've got our hands full with California and New York.  But you could at least throw us a bone for giving y'all 1500 miles of insulation from Mexico!

Canada?  Where's that?  

Hmmm... I've heard of it, but for the life of me, I can't remember [i]where[/i]!

[:P]

[:|]

[stick]..Go aw....Aye![;)]

I didn't even know Canada were good guys until I saw a picture one day in my Youth that showed an F-18 Hornet with a Maple Leaf on it. The caption said Canadian F-18.


Do You remember the Candid Camera episode where they set up a fake Mountie and Border crossing in Arizona.  These people come driving up and the look up at the sign and there is a toll looking booth and one of those wooden liftable gates painted black and white and there are these two Damn Mounties on Horseback sitting on both sides of it. The Sign reads, "WELCOME TO CANADA" .  These people drive up to it and the Guy dressed in the MOUNTY uniform gets out of the booth and goes around to the driver side of the car (which is very middle class American family on vacation). He goes up the guy rolls down the window and without missing a beat the Mounty asks the driver for his pasport and pappers??

D:HUH??, Where in Arizona??
M:Well, No not any more sir, not on the other side of that gate.. I'll have to see your passport!
D:This is America..
M: NO sir this is Canada??
D:Welll what happened to America.
M: Well see Sir, they have moved it??D: Moved it???
M: Yes Sir they moved the boarder south sir!
D: (WHo buy now is quite alarmed) What the, what the hell, were in Arizona??
M: No sir, this is Canada.

 This goes on for a few minutes before the Mounty tells the driver.


God I laughed..

Hay, I just realized that when writing posts I Use the Lower Case Important Word Capitalized just like in MAD Magazine.  For Faster Reading.

.25 Cents CHEAP!!

I've heard of that place.  Back in the 1800's, the US could have annexed it with hardly more effort than lifting a finger, resulting in the largest country on Earth, even larger than the entire Soviet Union.

But there was a catch...we found out that there were Frenchies living there, so we wisely passed on the deal.

They've got a really WEIRD national anthem that goes like this:


         "Our country reeks of trees,
         Our yaks are very large,
         And they smell like rotting beef carcasses.
         And we have to clean up after them
         And our saddle sores are the best.
         We proudly wear women's clothing
         And searing sand blows up our skirts.
         And the buzzards, they soar overhead,
         And poisonous snakes will devour us whole,
         Our bones will bleach in the sun.
         And we will probably go to /hell/ [*],
         And that is our great reward,
         For being The-uh Ro-yal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen!"

What are you talking about?

Our Salvation Army could kick their asses today.

Yeah, they could, but why would we want to do that?   The place is STILL full of snotty, stinky Frenchies, so it's still undesirable and a  bad deal at any price.

Unless, of course, the Frenchies were dealt with in a suitable manner...
