Got this from a friend this morning. I know there are a few other Canadians besides me on here who may enjoy them...also those who live in northern states. :grin:



Forget Rednecks,
Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Canucks.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from
September through May,
You may live in Canada .

If someone in a Home Depot store
Offers you assistance and they don't work there,
You may live in Canada .

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
You may live in Canada .

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
With someone who dialed a wrong number,
You may live in Canada .

If 'Vacation' means going anywhere
South of Detroit for the weekend,
You may live in Canada .

If you measure distance in hours,
You may live in Canada .

If you know several people
Who have hit a deer more than once,
You may live in Canada .

If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C'
In the same day and back again,
You may live in Canada .

If you can drive 90 km/hr through 2 feet of snow
During a raging blizzard without flinching,
You may live in Canada .

If you install security lights on your house and garage,
But leave both unlocked,
You may live in Canada .

If you carry jumpers in your car
And your wife knows how to use them,
You may live in Canada .

If you design your kid's Halloween costume
To fit over a snowsuit,
You may live in Canada .

If the speed limit on the highway is 80 km --
You're going 90 and everybody is passing you,
You may live in Canada .

If driving is better in the winter
Because the potholes are filled with snow,
You may live in Canada .

If you know all 4 seasons:
Almost winter, winter, still winter,
And road construction,
You may live in Canada .

If you have more miles
On your snow blower than your car,
You may live in Canada .

If you find 2 degrees 'a little chilly',
You may live in Canada .

If you actually understand these jokes,
And forward them to all
Your Canadian friends & others,
You definitely live in Canada .

That was great, TK!

Ones that fit Florida as well:
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, You may live in Florida .

If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C'
In the same day and back again,
You may live in Florida.

If you know all 4 seasons:
Summer, still summer, almost winter, summer
And road construction,
You may live in Florida .

If you find 70 degrees 'a little chilly',
You may live in Florida

If you find yourself rumaging in
a hot loft or barn for sinkers
while someone chops up your papa
you may be a Borden.

If you have a highboy,
and an armoire in your prison cell
and order out for lunch
you may be a Borden.

If you have pears and mutton for breakfast
with cookies and milk with just
a touch of purssic acid
you may be a Borden.

If you are the boss of your sister
the love of your father and
alway find yourself saying
"She's not my mother
you may be a Borden.

If you iron handkerchief
and give your maid a hot tip
about shopping while your
stepmother takes a permanent
nap on the floor
you may be a Borden.

If you, etc. etc. etc.

Kat: I remember being down in Key West in 1990 & one day the temp was about 70. I went out in a sundress & was shocked when I found lots of people wearing down vests! Thick-skinned we Canadians!

MB: Too funny! "...a permanent nap on the floor..." :peanut19:

If you have a sick sense of humor,
you may be a Bordenite.
