The difference between a New Yorker seeing his CAR being vandelized & a Canadian seeing HIS car being vandelized is: The New Yorker will yell "EH!!!! Wot you think yur DOING??" The Canadian will yell "Wot you think yur doing EH!!???" !------ eh ------!
On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said: "Today I am going to create a land called Canada, it will be a land of outstanding natural beauty. It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life, and rivers stocked with salmon." God continued, "I shall make the land rich in oil so as to make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Canadians, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth." "But Lord," asked Gabriel "don't you think you are being too generous to these Canadians?" "Not really," replied God "just wait and see the neighbors I am going to give them." !------ eh ------!
So there was this man who lived in Canada named bub.. and he had house right in town.. and no indoor plumbing... and the outhouse was quite a ways from the main house.. so anyway.. as he got older, the trip to the outhouse in the middle of the night got to be to much for him so he would go off the front porch.. and save himself the long walk in the cold. Well.. this upset his wife and so she had a lil' talk with him.. patiently explaining that he shoudn't do that cause the neighbors would see him and know what he was doing. She made him promise to not do it anymore and they both said *eh* to the pact. Well, it turned very COLD and he had to go bad in the middle of the nite so he got up and went outdoors. He came back pretty fast and his wife said to him. "You weren't gone very long, you went off the porch eh??" He could not lie to her.. so he confessed.. "Eh.. yep." She sighed and said.. "ya know... neighbors will know it was you and what you were doing out there!" He said: "Nah, they wont know it was me, I squatted down!" !------ eh ------!
As Bub an his wife wife Emi, had gotten older they started noticing that they tended to get a tad bit forgetful. They would find themselves going somewhere in the house to do something but when they got to where they were going they had no idea why they were there. Being used to talking over problems with each other they sat down and had a little *power talk* as to what was happening and what they could do about it. It was decided they would seek more expert advice so they approached the family doctor and explained the forgetfulness and asked his advice for overcoming it. The doctor questioned them both in depth and found each was just as bad as the other at not knowing whether they were *coming* or *going* at any given moment. So he suggested that they each keep a little notebook and when they needed to do something just write it down. Then if they forgot, they could just refer to their note. Both Bub and Emi said: "Eh.. good idea eh?" and they both answered: "yep!" at the same time. So... they went on home and were watchin the TV later that evening. Bub looked over expectantly at Emi and she looked back and said: "eh??" Bub said: "I think I would like a lil snack." Emi says: "Well... What you think you want for a snack eh?" Bub says: "Well.. I want some Ice Cream." Emi says she will go get it and gets up out of her chair and heads for the kitchen. Bub questions if she *wrote it down* in the notebook. "No!" she says... "I can remember you want ice cream... THAT'S not hard to remember!" She then says: "you want any particular KIND??" Bub says: "yeah... chocolate! I want chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup! ... better write it down!" Emi says: "GADS BUB!! You think I can't remember you want chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup eh???" Emi heads to the kitchen mumblin and Bub is verbalizing in the background... "don't forget to put it in a BOWL and bring a SPOON!" Emi is gone a LONG time but finally returns and sets a real nice plate of bacon and eggs down in front of Bub, complete with a nice cup of coffee and two slices of buttered toast. She smiles sweetly and Bub makes a *smooch* face at her and proceeds to eat. Pretty soon though.. she notices he keeps looking over at her kinda weird and expectantly. And finally she can't stand it anymore and looks him right in the eye and says "eh?" He sighs wearily and says: "I TOLD you you should have wrote it down in the notebook... I told you to write it down! Now you went an fergot the jelly for my toast!" |
