LMAO! Awesome post, very funny! Some of the questions at least may be some insight as to what life is like in some other countries.

It surprises me not that those questions were asked.

In 1990 I spent 17 days selling Christmas trees at a mall in Queens, New York City. I had someone ask me, just as serious as if he had a brain, if we had indoor plumbing in Maine. Others, adults,had never even heard of Maine. As far as they knew, there was nothing North of Mass!!

think I want to go to Calgary on tuesday nights to watch the parade.

Drifter

I am leaving for Toronto tomorrow. I am taking Tonto my Indian guide with me. He knows all the foot paths between Cape Breton And Young Street. I can hardly wait for them to start putting bridges across our Rivers though. Some of those Birch Bark Canoe crossings are pretty tough this time of year.

lol

that awesome!
