ok, this was actually a forward but amusing enough that I thought I'd post it (I don't usually do this).

Since Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter
Olympics, these are some questions people the world over are asking!
Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted on an
International Tourism Website. Obviously the answers are a joke but
the questions were really asked.

Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants
grow? ( England )
A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and
watch them die.

Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? ( USA )
A: Depends on how much you've been drinking.

Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto -can I follow the
Railroad tracks? ( Sweden )
A: Sure, it's only four thousand miles, take lots of water.

Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Canada ? ( Sweden )
A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.

Q: It is imperative that I find the names and addresses of places to
contact for a stuffed Beaver. ( Italy )
A: Let's not touch this one.

Q: Are there any ATM's (cash machines) in Canada ? Can you send me a
list of them in Toronto , Vancouver , Edmonton and Halifax ?
(England )
A: What did your last slave die of?

Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada ?
( USA )
A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe ..
Ca-na-da is that big country to your North...oh forget it. Sure, the
hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Calgary. Come naked.

(Is that true, Gil?)

Q: Which direction is North in Canada ? ( USA )
A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here
and we'll send the rest of the directions.

Q: Can I bring cutlery into Canada ? ( England )
A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.

Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? ( USA )
A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which
is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday
night in Vancouver and in Calgary, straight after the hippo
races. Come naked.

Q: Do you have perfume in Canada ? ( Germany )
A: No, we don't stink.

Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can
you sell it in Canada ? ( USA )
A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.

Q: Can you tell me the regions in British Columbia where the female
population is smaller than the male population? ( Italy )
A: Yes, gay nightclubs

Q: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada ? ( USA )
A: Only at Thanksgiving.

Q: Are there supermarkets in Toronto and is milk available all year
round? ( Germany )
A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of Vegan hunter/gathers. Milk
is illegal.

Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada , but I forget
its name. It's a kind of big horse with horns. ( USA )
A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent. They roam the
city streets eating the brains of anyone walking close to them.
Spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking will
scare them off.

Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? ( USA )
A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first.
