Here's me new hiding spot. http://thegrasshoppa.blogspot.com/
daune :)
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.
Mrs B has an international patent on this.....
Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto - can I follow the Railroad tracks? ( Norway )
A: Sure, it's only Four thousand miles, take lots of water.
What about directions?
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.
I turned up naked on Tuesday in Calgary and what do I find..... no hippo racing - thank god it is so warm this time of year....
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.
Not so fast, you need to backup a bit. So lets start with which direction is South?
Q: Can I bring cutlery into Canada ?( England )
A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.
No one told me I could bring fingers into Canada....
Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? ( USA )
A: Aus-t ri-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.
I would also like to point out that quaint little country is responsible for producuing Hitler. To add insult to injury the Vienna Boys choir were slightly out of tune. On a positive note I enjoyed the American tourist racing, even if they were a little slow .........
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.
Who would have guessed that Germany had a milk season?
My favourite comment I heard about the games, a work collegues was watching the Biathlon
His wife walked in and asked the now legendary :-
"Do they have the guns in case of bear attacks?"
