A Little Candian Humour for the Winter Season

[TheSlave]

Here's a little something I just couldn't pass up. I'm sure all of my fellow Canucks will be able to fully appreciate this one:The Official Canadian Temperature Conversion Chart50° Fahrenheit (10° C) Californians shiver uncontrollably. Canadians plant gardens. 35° Fahrenheit (1.6° C) Italian cars won't start Canadians drive with the windows down 32° Fahrenheit (0 ° C) American water freezes Canadian water gets thicker. 0° Fahrenheit (-17.9° C) New York City landlords finally turn on the heat. Canadians have the last cookout of the season. -60° Fahrenheit (-51° C) Mt. St. Helens freezes. Canadian Girl Guides sell cookies door-to-door. -100° Fahrenheit (-73° C) Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Canadians pull down their ear-flaps. -173° Fahrenheit (-114° C) Ethyl alcohol freezes. Canadians get frustrated when they can't thaw the keg. -460° Fahrenheit (-273° C) Absolute zero; all atomic motion stops. Canadians start saying "cold, eh?" -500° Fahrenheit (-295° C) Hell freezes over. The Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup..!

Ha Ha....I lived in Flin Flon for five years. That is when I discovered square tires. In the winter of 1994 we had 28 consecutive days when the daytime high never went over -30 c.All the guys I knew with diesel engines never shut them off from mid December to late February...."oh the weather outside is frightful"
