Good call! I want my time back on that one.

Though I must add:

Americans who drive to the Canadian border thinking they can see an igloo and make it back home in time for dinner.

I don’t want to be a prick, but I’m tempted to say ‘thinking there are actually Americans who drive to the Canadian border thinking they can see an igloo and make it back home in time for dinner.’

This makes no sense geographically as any American within a few hours driving distance of the border would not be this ignorant about Canada’s climate.

But perhaps you were simply supplying a metaphor for American ignorance.

And I do recall that the Governor of Arkansas was duped into publicly congratulating Canada for putting a dome over it’s “national igloo in Ottawaâ€

Americans searching for igloos in southern Canada is way more common than one might think. I grew up in Stratford, Ontario (home of the Shakespearean Festival) and
I routinely saw people who had come north for a performance in mid July sporting parkas and skis on top of their cars.
The scary part is the cars usually had Illinois plates.

I wish I was kidding.

Agreed about that guy. He's out there playing nothing but covers when he probably has some great original material he could be putting out there.

Okay, here's some stuff:

The Sopranos (which I'm sure is a fine program) making thousands of Americans wish they were Italian. There's no shame in having light-colored hair, blue eyes, a button nose, and a mom whose never had to shave her neck. However, this Fake Italian Dialect, I mean her no disrespect. For me to be misunderstood, my heart would sink to the bottom of the ocean. (first attempt, cut me some slack)


Getting on an elevator to find that the person getting out just farted, then having the smell stick with the elevator when you get off, causing the next person to get in to think that it was you.


Delivering bottled water to a business and having a customer say, "Hey is that whiskey?" (yes, since whiskey is clear) or worse, "You better be delivering Coors Light this time", only to have them get offended when you say, "Well, it's water, so it's close enough."

My father in-law works for Canada Customs as border patrol and gets asked this question far more often than you would think. These are people living in Washington state.

I am not trying to assume any wide spread ignorance, just pointing out something that has come up in conversation recently, and have heard from many other people over the years. God knows there are some Canadians with their heads stuck in the ground. The United States simply has the privilege of having eight times as many.

how casually, complacently, and blind-eye-turningly we all bandy about the word "retarded".
