A Canadian is walking down the street with a case of beer under his arm. His friend Doug stops him and asks, "Hey Bob! Whacha get the case of beer for?"

"I got it for my wife, eh." answers Bob.

"Oh!" exclaims Doug, "Good trade mate."

idea that reminds me of a joke...

a woman goes to get a tattoo of elvis on her upper thigh...and she does'nt like it...says, that looks nothing like elvis...so the tattoo artist says, i'll do another one on the other side...well, she says, now that does'nt look like elvis eithermumbling ...so the tattoo artist says, what we need is a third oplnion...so go outside, where there happend to be an old drunk standing by the door...she pulls down her pants and says, does either one of these look like elvis to you???...and the drunk says, i don't know about those two but, i think the one in the middle is willie nelson...dunno

Next Happy Beaver Day stop by my house on the way to the pub. Drop your pants and stay so we can honor the little critter. Perhaps the little critter is hungry for some finger food or a banana. Maybe the little critter just wants a whole lot of kiss . I promise to make it a very special day if you would stop by. bouquet wine cool

You know what might be fun, N, is contrasting Canadian expressions with American ones. Periodically, GG throws an expression at me that I've never heard as an American.

Examples (off the top of my head) would be "kerfuffle" (Americanese would be "brouhaha," or "ruckus") "suck" (as a noun, opposed to adjective - e.g., "I'm a suck" versus "you suck") "washroom" (instead of "bathroom"), etc. Also, GG would say "expiry date" instead of "expiration date."

Do I sense a possible thread here, N?confused dunno wave

One I really object to is calling "electricity" "hydro." Hydro-electricity is a form of creating electricity - as I often point out to GG - and is not synonymous with electricity. Adding to the confusion is that here we have water bills which are often called "hydro bills." doh frustrated laugh

Ohhhh..I do sense a new thread. I think you, GG and I should put our heads together and see what we come up with. I dated an American and he hated when I used the word POP..as in the carbonayted beverage..you call is SODA. Lol..by the way..I always refer to electricity as "hydro"..and..my water bill is added to my "hydro" bill..I know..your minds totally blown!!rolling on the floor laughing
