    A lesson about Canada
    Forget Rednecks, Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Canucks.

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


    If someone in a Home Depot store
    Offers 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 90 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.


    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,
    You definitely live in Canada.

    You wouldn't survive HH. You have to be born here if you want to live here.

    Wait... I wasn't born here.

    Now I understand! :cool:

    Another misconception.

    Eh is mainly used in Newfoundland, not Alberta. Very few Albertans say eh, no one says aboot, we actually talk like normal humans beings. :)
