Living In Canada

I couldn't resists! This one arrived in my mailbox this morning and as a fine 'Red Neck' Canadian I could resist passing it along. Enjoy!

Forget Rednecks... 


Here is what Jeff Foxworthy (not sure if that is true! This was probably just written by some cleaver Canadian!) has to say about Canadians:

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May,
You may live in Canada .


If someone in a Home Depot storeOffers you assistance and they don't work there,
You may live in Canada .


If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
You may live in Canada .


If you've had a lengthy  telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number,
You may live in Canada .


If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of Detroit for the weekend,
You may live in Canada .


If you measure distance in hours,
You may live in Canada .


If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once,
You may live in Canada .


If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again,
You may live in Canada .


If you can drive 90 km/hr through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching,
You may live in Canada .

If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked,
You may live in  Canada .

If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them,
You may live in Canada .

If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit,
You may live in Canada .

If the speed limit on the highway is 80 km --you're going 95 and everybody is passing you,
You may live in Canada .

If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow,
You may live in Canada .

If you know all 4  seasons: Almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction,
You may live in Canada .  
(True unless you live in Vancouver or Victoria, BC!)

If you have more  miles on your snow blower than your car,
You may live in Canada .

If you  find -2 degrees 'a little chilly',
You may live in Canada .

If you  actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all your friends (or post them on your blog!)
You definitely are Canadian and proud to be.

Once again I digress from the main topic of this blog, Cheapest Places to Live, however a little humour is always good and besides living anywhere, including Canada one needs some fun because just living in the Cheapest Place  doesn't mean you're going to like it!
