Blame it on Canada!

Hey, I can only offer up so many apologies in one week! (It's an unwritten Canadian law, only a set number of apologies per week.)

Okay, I'll apologize for Doug Plumb since I haven't used up my quota for the week yet. ;)
 
Canajuns and apologies.....

National Lampoon in 1968 in their issue dedicated to the "Sleeping Giant on Your Doorstep".... A lot of the original writers had Canadian roots or connections....

Riddles:
What do you get if you cross a parrot and a tiger?
I don't know but when it talks, you better listen.

What do you get if you cross two Canadians?
Righteous indignation and a letter to the Ottawa Citizen.

Why is Canada always shown pink on world maps?
International embarassment.
 
How can you tell the difference between a Canadian and an American when you insult them?

American Reply: Where is my gun?

I'll play along with another U.S. vs. Canada joke :)

Radio conversation between a United States Navy aircraft carrier and Canadian authorities off the coast off Newfoundland.

CANADIANS:
Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS:
Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

CANADIANS:
Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS:
This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

CANADIANS:
No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

AMERICANS:
This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers, and numerous support vessels. I demand that you change your course 15 degrees north...
I say again...That's one-five degrees north.... or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

CANADIANS:
We are a lighthouse. Your call.
 
And for good measure, one more that is not a U.S. vs. Canada joke, but just a Canuck joke :)

It's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and a man makes his way to his seat right at center ice. He sits down, noticing that the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks his neighbour if someone will be sitting there.

"No," says the neighbour, "the seat is empty." "This is incredible", said the man, "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs and not use it?"

The neighbour says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Stanley Cup we haven't been to together since we got married in 1967."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else, a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?"

The man shakes his head and says, "No, they're all at the funeral."
