previous: "A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe

We should also add: "A Canadian is a fellow wearing English tweeds, a Hong
Kong shirt and Spanish shoes, who sips Brazilian coffee sweetened with
Philippine sugar from a Bavarian cup while nibbling Swiss cheese, sitting at
a Danish desk over a Persian rug, after coming home in a German car from an
Italian movie... and then writes his Member of Parliament with a Japanese
ballpoint pen on French paper, demanding that he do something about
foreigners taking away our Canadian jobs."
IOW pretty much like good ole 'Mercuns but with a funny accent, eh?
Canada is like your attic, you forget that it's up there, but when you go,
it's like "Oh man, look at all this great stuff!"
If they can do all that, and still make love in a canoe without
tipping it, I really am impressed. I live pretty close to Canada,
maybe I should spend more time there. Maybe I'll get to try the canoe
thing. At my age, that is, indeed, quite a trick.
