just to be clear...

somebody told me this recently. When I asked what it meant...

they told me to simply make the statement...and most people around would respond?


I have no idea....but I thougt I would give it a run.

It is from the land down under...or so I am told.


This is why I ask.

A friend sent me a bumper sticker...

It says:


Hey mate, Bobs your Uncle

I do have a brother named Bob and it's his real name .. not a shorten version of Robert. He is a uncle though - so I guess your statement is true. And eh? are you a wanna be Canadian now ??

I have been told...
that "a can of corn" is the same as "a piece of cake"
