Finally a joke that explains what it's like to be a Canadian!!!
 

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look Michael, look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place of great balance." "Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people," God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to a large landmass in the top corner and asked, "What's that one?" "Ah," said God. "That's Canada, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite coastline. The people from Canada are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard working and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them super-human, undefeatable ice hockey players who will be admired and feared by all who come across them."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed; "What about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!" God replied wisely.
"Wait until you see the loud-mouth bastards I'm putting next to them...."

Only a Canadian would believe that one....

I believe it.

Dang there went my theory... seeing your Mexican and all. lol

Self abuse must be the reason that some remarkably high percentage of Canada's population lives within a couple hours of the U.S. border then.

BTW, Canada is responsible for Celine Dion so we're even. :p ;)

I really raelly really cannot stand her, every Canadian owes every American TWO apologies for that one!

Don't balme us, she's from Quebec. And everyone knows that Quebec isn't really apart of Canada ;)

As much as I love Celine, that was too funny!! Haha!

or it could be that is fucken cold anywhere else in the country. If the choice is -40 and close the US and -60 and far away, i'll take -40 anyday!

lol candadia. Haha.

You=10 degrees
me=80

I'm FT.Lauderdale fla. Why am i greekchat???

Its a balmy 27*F out right now---thank you very much!:)

It is 76 here in South Ga. It is nice to wear shorts again! Those 2 cold months or the 40's and 50's suck.

By the begining of next week we are looking at +11*C (51F) sounds like shorts weather to me!

It's 38 degrees right now which is positively balmy for this brutal New York City winter. ;)

Here at 51F most of us would be bundled up and the heat would be going.

it's all perspective. When it hits 100F here nobody knows what to do. We all turn our Air Conditioning units on full blast and cause power shortages.

We up in the Northeast would be thankful for weather that warm after the winter we've had/are still having.

I completely agree! This winter has sucked! Bring on the summer and weekends on the Cape lying on the beach!

try sending this again next time you have hurricanes eating your homes.

Aww that's so cute!!! hehehe.. move to Texas in the middle of summer and you'll get used to it real quick! ;)

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Or you all could come live in Vancouver - not too hot in the summer, not too cold in the winter. Right now it's 12 degrees (celcius) out, not too shabby for this time of year :p.

:D i laughed at that.

10 ways you know you're Canadian:
 

You know you're from Canada when...

1. You know what a block heater is
2. You measure distance in hours.
3. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
4. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.
5. You use a down comforter in the summer.
6. Your grandparents drive at 100 km/h through four metres of snow during a blizzard, without flinching.
7. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.
8. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
9. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled.
10. You know all four seasons: Almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.

mu_agd I couldn't agree more!!! Get me on the Cape, in the sunshine and put me in a kayak - I don't know if I can handle the snow they're calling for tomorrow.... I just may have to move to St. Thomas!

Allison

There calling for snow again!! :mad: I need to start listening to the weather forecasts again... I stopped listening because I didn't want to know!

What is this thing called snow?? lol

I JUST WASHED MY CAR TODAY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Snow? What's this? Is it like stuff that gets on cars when it's 80+ degrees outside and you have to go to the beach/park to cool off? If it is, then we get that 365 too.

They might have been talking about the Russian Federation -- they're right next door -- just across the straight -- so to speak.
