First, to me Canada is anything: a) north of me; 
b) where they end every sentence with "eh?"; c) 
and, they have problems saying "about" in shoe 
store.  Those pesky "frost-backs" -- you can 
always catch then with the "about" trick.

Second, Ted you're not in Canada, you're just in 
a part we haven't invaded yet. Somehow you got 
around the "54, 40 or fight!" thing. But as soon 
as we see your location has a significant amount 
of oil, we'll be there -- or, you'll be here. or, 
ahh... you get the idea (after all your smarter 
than I am -- you tell me).

Again, you're south of me and thus your 
intelligence is superior to mine -- but, 
considering my latitude, I don't realize it and 
thus it doesn't brother me. You see, living north 
of most people has it's advantages.

Yes -- just ask my wife.
