Canadian language issues......

The joke earlier today about the Swiss man looking for directions reminded me of this one. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A couple are at the airport in Arizona awaiting their flight. They are dressed in heavy boots, parka, scarf, mittens and all ready to head home to the Canadian winter. An older American couple standing nearby is intrigued by their manner of dress. The wife says to her husband, "Look at that couple. I wonder where they're from?" He replies, "How would I know?" She counters, "You could go and ask them." He says, "I don't really care. You want to know, you go ask them." She decides to do just that, walks over to the couple and asks, "Excuse me. Noticing the way you're dressed, I wonder where you're from?" The Canadian farmer replies,"Saskatoon, Saskatchewan". The woman returns to her husband who asks:"So, where are they from?" She replies, "I don't know. They don't speak English." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

The parking lot at work is turning in a gathering place for Canadian geese heading home north. It’s particular annoying in the mornings when there are only two parking spaces left and they are occupied from slowly walking, fat, stupid birds with a zero instinct of self-preservation. I was thinking of running over one of them, but then they are so big I’m afraid it will damage my car. Besides I wouldn’t kill an animal I don’t intend to eat, and these things are covered with feathers. If I show up home with this huge chicken and say to my wife “pluck it” I’m going to have to sleep in the car the next three days.

You've been to Woking on a Saturday then?
Use the best guess
In my town most of the pedestrians are pretty much like that, so I know what you talking about. :)

So shoot one anyway; in two hours a Committee to Save The Geese will form, funds collected, and volunteers enlisted to capture and hand carry them to the border. Of course, the one you killed will be plucked by zealots for feathers to use in tarring and feathering you, but at least you'll have a plucked goose in the pot while the wife plucks you.:cool:

I think you mean Canada geese, although the rest of your message stands. Their citizenship may or may not be Canadian, but their species/breed/genus/whatever is Canada goose/Canada geese.
