Given how Canada is such a mystery to most, including Canadians, I always
welcome little snippets which characterize differences amongst the
nations...er, imperialists:

A Brit, an American & a Canadian all order a pint of beer at
the local pub. A fly lands in each of their glasses. The American pushes the
glass away, and says, "Bring me another one". The Brit, a bit more pratical,
fishes the fly out with a spoon and throws it away and keeps on drinking. The
Canadian picks up the fly, and shakes it over the glass and says "Come on,
spit it out!"

I might change my sign to that,
"spit it out!!"
