Received this in my email this morning and thought everyone might get a kick out of it.
Apparently Jeff Foxworthy has came up with a list of characteristic that can identify you as being Canadian.........

Here is what he has to say.


If your local Dairy Queen is closed from
September through May,
You may live in Canada .

If someone in a Home Depot store
Offers you assistance and they don't work there,
You may live in Canada .

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
You may live in Canada .

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
With someone who dialed a wrong number,
You may live in Canada .

If 'Vacation' means going anywhere
South of Detroit for the weekend,
You may live in Canada .

If you measure distance in hours,
You may live in Canada .

If you know several people
Who have hit a deer more than once,
You may live in Canada .

If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C'
In the same day and back again,
You may live in Canada .

If you can drive 90 km/hr through 2 feet of snow
During a raging blizzard without flinching,
You may live in Canada .

If you install security lights on your house and garage,
But leave both unlocked,
You may live in Canada .

If you carry jumper cables in your car
And your wife knows how to use them,
You may live in Canada .


If you design your kid's Halloween costume
To fit over a snowsuit,
You may live in Canada .


If the speed limit on the highway is 80 km --
You're going 95 and everybody is passing you,
You may live in Canada .

If driving is better in the winter
Because the potholes are filled with snow,
You may live in Canada .

If you know all 4 seasons:
Almost winter, winter, still winter,
and road construction,
You may live in Canada .


If you have more miles
On your snow blower than your car,
You may live in Canada .


If you find -10 degrees 'a little chilly',
You may live in Canada .


If you actually understand these jokes,
and forward them to all
your friends,


you definitely are Canadian and proud to be.

He certainly knows Canadians I'll say that.


I've been one of those folks who have talked for awhile to someone who called my number by mistake and I've started up conversations with strangers on the street in downtown Toronto and talked as we walked in the same direction.

I always carry and know how to use jumper cables too.

Yeah...I just read those to DH and we're both giggling. He's trying to remember if he knows anyone who's hit more than one deer, though.

If you're reading this and thinking "doesn't everyone do that?"...you might be Canadian!

LOL at the getting passed doing 95. Here in SW Ontario, the 80 speed limit seems to be more of a guideline!

I have also used A/C and heat in the same day before!

LOL, I learned everything I know about Canada from the movie "Canadian Bacon." I love that movie. My favorite parts are where they think all of the Canadians are trying to trick them by saying the capital is Ottawa (and not Toronto) and when the Canadian police pull them over because they have obscene sayings about Canada written on the side of their truck... and makes them write them in French too.

We have this issue in front of our house
it's not the 95ers that bother me it's the 130s at 3am that think no one knows they are doing it!

I DO! And one of these days I'm going to get really fed up & go out there with some road spikes
