Funny Canadian Facts

Hey everyone, i'm not dead, I just realized I had a huge test later this evening which I just found out under 24 hours ago.  The subject is on Poetry... And honestly I have not written a test on poetry in nearly a decade, so this is turning out to be quite terrible.

I have work in a few hours, so i'm going to keep this post short and funny.  Haven't had a chance to answer comments, but will do so when I get back home later.  Thanks for the support, I really hope google crawls my website soon and sees that I deleted literally hundreds of hot girl pictures =(  If thats not enough, I don't know what is....

ANYWAYS, please check out my PRINCIPLES OF POWER BLOG if you want some interesting stuff to read, the links are above like always.

There are a lot more awesome posts coming up in the future, keep tuned, but for now, i'm going to be trying to study a lot of this tedious poetry and literary terms :(

JOKE # 1

After the North American Beer Festival, all the brewery presidents
decided to go out for a beer. The guy from Corona
sits down and says, 'Hey Senor, I would like the world's best beer, a
Corona .' The bartender dusts off a bottle from
the shelf and gives it to him.

The guy from Budweiser says, 'I'd like the best beer in the world,
give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser.' The
bartender gives him one..

The guy from Coors says, 'I'd like the only beer made with Rocky
Mountain spring water, give me a Coors.' He gets it.


The guy from Molson Canadian sits down and says, 'Give me a Coke.'
The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives
him what he ordered.
The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, 'Why aren't
you drinking a Molson's?'

The Molson Canadian president replies, 'Well, I figured if you guys
aren't drinking beer, neither would I.'

CANADIAN JOKE #2

A Canadian is walking down the street with a case of beer under his
arm. His friend Doug stops him and asks, 'Hey
Bob! Whacha get the case of beer for?'

'I got it for my wife, eh.' answers Bob.

'Oh!' exclaims Doug, 'Good trade.'

CANADIAN JOKE #3

An Ontarian wanted to become a Newfie. He went to the neurosurgeon
and asked, 'Is there anything you can do to me
that would make me into a Newfie?'

'Sure it's easy.' replied the neurosurgeon. 'All I have to do is cut
out 1/3 of your brain, and you'll be a Newfie..'

He was very pleased, and immediately underwent the operation.
However, the neurosurgeon's knife slipped, and instead
of cutting 1/3 of the patient's brain, the surgeon accidentally cut
out 2/3 of the patient's brain.

He was terribly remorseful, and waited impatiently beside the
patient's bed as the patient recovered from the
anesthetic. As soon as the patient was conscious, the neurosurgeon
said to him 'I'm terribly sorry, but there was a
ghastly accident. Instead of cutting out 1/3 of your brain, I
accidentally cut out 2/3 of your brain.'

The patient replied 'Qu'est-ce que vous avez dit, monsieur?'
