Wit and Wisdom for Canadians

As mentioned in an earlier post, I bought a book called "How to be a Canadian" by Will and Ian Ferguson. The guidebook is meant to be a satire of what is the "typical Canadian". After reading the first chapter, I have to share with you some of the book's gems.

On Economy:

"The main product manufactured in Canada is snow."

On Population:

"There are 30,000,000 people in Canada -- all of whom have, at some point, frozen their tongues to the side of a chainlink fence or flagpole. Even though their mothers told them not to."

(Yes, I have actually done this.)

What You've Learned So Far:

"If you want to appear Canadian, all you have to do is tuck a beaver under your arm and stroll allong humming the Hockey Night in Canada theme song."

If you are Canadian and enjoy poking fun at yourself, I highly recommend this book. I often find myself laughing out loud at the observations.
