You Could Be A Canadian

A reader tip and a Jeff Foxworthy special gave me this idea for some light summer reading. I call it: YOU COULD BE A CANADIAN

1. If you say "thank you" to vending machines

2. If you know what a "turn signal" is

3. If you wave to the car beside you and indicate "go ahead"

4. If you think a "snob" is anyone who believes "bigger is better"

5. If Celine Dion is your sister

6. If you can complete the phrase "Look up, look ___ ___"

7. If you are more familiar with Coronation Street than with Sesame Street

8. If you rise for a toast and say "To the Queen"

9. If you know 54 40 is a band

10. If you can define "ice wine"

11. If you drink rye, or used to

12. If you can explain the difference between nunatak and Nunavut

13. If you can spell Saskatchewan

14. If you can pronounce Kaministikwia

15. If you can sing "Land of the Silver Birch"

16. If you can explain how The Titanic, The English Patient, and The Hurricane qualify as Canadian Culture

17. If you have worked as a peeler and never had to remove your clothing

18. If you've been to Fargo

19. If you've ever taken a slapshot or tripped on the hogline

20. If you know, to the nearest kilometre, the location of the closest Tim Horton's

Finally, if you can identify the location pictured above, you must be Canadian. Check back September 1 for the answer.

Thanks for stopping by; glad you enjoyed it. Can you think of things we do that others may find amusing? Once I was at a show in Vegas and the MC said: "Hello to all you Canadians up there in the ba ...
