Because Everyone In Canada Lives In An Igloo.

Because Everyone In Canada Lives In An Igloo.


Now that Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter

Olympics, these are some questions people from all over the world are asking.



Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted

on an International Tourism Website.



Obviously the answers are a

joke; but the questions were really asked!



Q:I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow?(England)

A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die.



Q:Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? (USA)

A: Depends on how much you've been drinking.



Q:I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto-can I follow the Railroad tracks? (Sweden)

A: Sure, it's only Four thousand miles, take lots of water.



Q:Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Canada? (Sweden)

A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.





Q: Are there any ATM's (cash machines) in Canada? Can you send me a list of them

in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Halifax? (England)

A: What, did your last slave die?



Q:Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada? (USA)

A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Ca-na-da is that big

country to your North...oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in

Calgary. Come naked.



Q:Which direction is North in Canada? (USA)

A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees Contact us when you get here and we'll

send the rest of the directions.



Q: Can I bring cutlery into Canada?(England)

A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.



Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA)

A: Aus-t ri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Vancouver and in Calgary,

straight after the hippo races. Come naked.



Q: Do you have perfume in Canada? (Germany)

A: No, WE don't stink.



Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Where can I

sell it in Canada?(USA)

A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.



Q: Can you tell me the regions in British Columbia where the female population

is smaller than the male population? (Italy)

A: Yes, gay nightclubs.



Q: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada? (USA)

A: Only at Thanksgiving.



Q: Are there supermarkets in Toronto and is milk available all year round?(Germany)

A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of Vegan hunter/gathers. Milk is illegal.



Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada, but I forget its name. It's a

kind of big horse with horns. (USA )

A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone

walking close to them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine

before you go out walking.



Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)

A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first.



Please send this on to any Canadian (or others) who you think will enjoy it as much as I did

I hope Toronto gets the games. They'll raise taxes (and not lower them after the games are over) on ME to bring them to Chicago.

Sorry, I misread the second sentence and thought this was about bidding for the 2012 games.

I spent the night in an igloo once. It was a heck of a lot warmer than my sunporch is right now!

2010 Winter Olympics WILL be held in Whistler, B.C.
That's the facts jack.

I could've posted some smarta$$ answer, but what the heck.
We won the bid about 2 years ago.
Thanks for the post Syl, got a good laugh out of that!

Cheers,

Not enough questions about Canadian women, but still funny.
