Steelie Jim,
Nice to see you pal! I'm glad you stopped by. Don't stay away so long.
Now, let's have some fun with your Canadian piece.
>>> I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. <<<
You should be. He's the most educated President we've ever had. Probably more educated than any Prime Minister as well. You may not agree with his strategies, but a moron, he's not.
>>> I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. <<<
Well, I'm not! In the world of sales we say be careful what you ask for, you just might get it. We asked, you gave. Now what was that about being a moron?
>>> I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. <<<
I'm sorry too. You guys are good. Credit where credit is deserved. We'll just have to keep trying harder I suppose. As to your franchises, our currency and tax laws, as horrible as they are, still allow our players to net more money. Sorry! Now what was that about being a moron?
>>> I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, <<<
Yeah, we were coming out of a depression and we were isolationists at the time. We weren't particularly interested in fighting others battles but, when the time came, we did the right thing because it was the right thing to do. We Americans know we're going to make mistakes, our heritage calls for us to learn from them and step up to the plate. The end result was we kicked ass like no ass had ever been kicked before. Now, if we can just translate that to hockey!
>>> I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the War of 1812. <<<
You're forgiven. Just don't let it happen again. Learn from your mistakes, as discussed above.
>>> I'm sorry for Alan Thicke, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Loverboy, that song from Seriff that ends with a really high-pitched long note. <<<
So are we. However, as friends, we'll overlook your shortcomings.
>>> Your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer, but we feel your pain. <<<
You guys have beer? Damn, I didn't know that. I'm sorry for my ignorance. I remember seeing some great beer commercials a few years ago. Something about 2 guys and a moose? Funny stuff!
>>> I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. <<<
Then quit your bitching and get on board. If your country or economy were on the verge of destruction, we'd be the first ones you'd call on. We'd be there for you too because that's what friends do.
>>> I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. Because we've seen what you do to countries you get upset with. <<<
We're not too upset with you. But keep it up and we'll find a way to kick your ass at hockey. Then you'll have nothing of fame to claim.
You're loving and mostly understanding neighbors.
