I found this in my e-mail account and thought it might be worth looking at if you’re bored.
**Only in Canada**
1. Only in Canada…are there
handicap parking places in front of a
skating rink.
2. Only in Canada…do drugstores
make the sick walk all the way to the
back of the store to get their
prescriptions while healthy people can buy
cigarettes at the front.
3. Only in Canada…do people order
double cheeseburgers, large fries,
and a diet coke.
4. Only in Canada…do banks leave
both doors open and then chain the
pens to the counters.
5. Only in Canada…do we leave cars
worth thousands of dollars in the
driveway and put our useless junk in the
garage.
6. Only in Canada…do we use
answering machines to screen calls and
then have call waiting so we won’t miss a
call from someone we didn’t want
to talk to in the first place.
7. Only in Canada…do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten
and buns in packages of eight.
8. Only in Canada…do they have
drive-up ATM machines with Braille
lettering.
**EVER WONDER**
Why the sun lightens our hair, but
darkens our skin?
Why women can’t put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don’t you ever see the headline
“Psychic Wins Lottery”?
Why is “abbreviated” such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do
“practice”?
Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you
have to click on “Start”?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial
flavor, and dishwashing liquid made
with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest
traffic called rush hour?
Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food?
When dog food is new and improved
tasting, who tests it?
Why didn’t Noah swat those two
mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for
lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box
that is used on airplanes? Why don’t
they make the whole plane out of that
stuff?!
Why don’t sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when
they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is
Congress the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe, why do they call
the airport the terminal?
