A:I hope you like blubber and fish innards for breakfast. And yes water ,the fact is that 99.9% of the water up here is actually frozen, so we survive by either a) drinking beer, or b) melting the walls of our "houses" (a.k.a igloos) to obtain fluids.

With the way things are in this country, I am envious of Canadians. So many Americans want out of here and into there. How can you stand us.
awesoome awesome awesome! As a fellow Canuk I almost fell off my chair laughing. First time I've laughed since india was thrown out of the World Cup :(
this is so funny - you mean someone realy asked these questions?
ha ha....thanks and this definitely answers some of my questions since I am in the process of planning a holiday in Canada this year :)
My favourite TV show is Candian; Trailer Park Boys. I like a girl at work who is Candian. I've always wanted to visit Canada. Australia is the next best thing to being Candian, true story.
The questions are very bizzare.
Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street?(USA)
A: Depends how much you've been drinking.
That would have to be my favourite.
Funny. But you know, in Japan they do eat a lot of fish innards. They love 'em. Just gotta have them some more innards.
But that was very funny.
ha ha good one. canada one is great
you're a Canadian? why didn't I figure that one out! (Thought you were in US!)
btw, I loved the ads...esp the first one - how far away is that day, I wonder :)
I am moving to Canada - do you all like farmers?! LOL - I love it up there! Thanks needed a grin today!
HaHaHa! Fuzzy That is too funny!
People ask the darndest things...
We are a dumb breed, aren't we? Thank goodness for a sense of humor!
Btw, it took almost two hours for me to get here?!
I love the first Ad. Even though I am into technology and work in that field, there are few things I prefer on "paper", whether its books or letters :)
The rest of the post is funny but I have two from my own experience:
1. I met this guy from US in an online forum and he asked, "Do we need to bring snow-mobile to Canada or do you have some cars too?"
My Answer: Nope, no cars. We only have parking for snowmobiles outside our Igloos.
2. I met this guy from India in an online chess game and he asked, "So, what your ethnicity?". I said, "East Indian" and he said, "Oh Great. I am South Indian"...LOL
I wouldn't be surprised if this questions came from my part of the world - I'm living in the south east asian.
But it's really an eye opener to know that they came from your part of the world.
I bet they would think we're still living on a tree :)
