I was just thinking about this thread, contrasting it with the thread which spawned it. And I was reminded of the World War (1? 2?) Bit of wisdom about how to tell a Yank from a Brit from a Canadian ...

A Yank walks into a bar like he owns the place.
A Brit walks in like he wished he owned the place.
A Canadian walks in like he doesn't give a frak who owns the place.

smiley - laugh

I started this thread.

I don't own it.

I hope nobody gives a frik about anyone who claims ownership of it. smiley - smiley


And I think that attitude is a national treasure

Speaking of bars..

I submit the Nanaimo Bar as one of Canada's National Treasures smiley - drool

Actually, I submit someone else's Nanaimo Bar. This one is all mine, and I'm eating it smiley - tongueout

If someone stole a Nanaimo bar, they could destroy the evidence of theft by eating it. smiley - smiley
