Hard to believe, but obviously for a lot of people around the world Canada seem to be located behind the moon and then turn to the right!
As far as I remember from my journeys through your wonderful country, you'll cope with this kind of half-witted prejudice quite easy and with a lot of humour! LOL LOL LOL
P.S. I DON'T stink either! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
LOL Do you have lots of guest rooms?
Too funny. Where are those wonderfully humorous answers when we need them. I for one, usually think of them a half-hour later. . . of course, I am from California. (Please no comments, I have just made myself a wide-open target for a come-back.LOL)
Talk about Canada being located behind the moon, it certainly was when I was a child growing up in Minnesota. The map in my fourth grade classroom showed the U.S. only. I thought there was just a nice curved edge to the north side and top of the map. What a surprise to find Canada on the map when I went to fifth grade. And finally, what a delight to visit our friendly neighbors to the North when I graduated from High School.
Very funny. Especially the one about the stuffed beaver.
There eally are some dozy people out there, unfortunately I have been one of them at times.Doh
These questions - and definitely the answers are priceless!
Whoever answered this has a wonderful sense of humor - glad you shared!
LOVE that Canadian stamp. Then again I love everything Pooh. What good memories it brings back.
Oh those were too funny! Thanks for making my day!
Love it - got this via email a while back, but it's still just as funny reading it again.
Actually, it's not altogether a bad thing that Canada's many charms are still a secret only for the enlightened! ;)
