Something to Make you Smile and Ponder
So how about some Q's and A's from some of our recent visitors to Canada. Keep in mind these were real questions, but, of course, made up/funny answers (we hope). All in good fun, eh?
Q. Will I be able to see polar bears in the street?
A. Depends on how much you've been drinking.
Q. I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto - can I follow the railroad tracks?
A. Sure, it's only 4 thousand miles, so take lots of water.
Q. Can I bring cutlery into Canada?
A. Why? Just use your fingers like we do.
Q. Do you have perfume in Canada?
A. No, we don't stink.
Q. Which direction is North in Canada?
A. Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.
Q. Are there supermarkets in Vancouver and is milk available all year round?
A. No, we are a peaceful civilization of Vegan hunter/gatherers.
