"I need a good laugh every day."

So try this one on your Canadian friends.

Do you know how Canada got its name?

No? Didn't think so.

Many years ago the colony didn't have a name and that perplexed its widely diverse small citizenry.

What to do? There was much debate.

Eventually they decided to throw all the letters of the alphabet in a hat and draw them one-by-one to determine the name.

Three trappers from the far north were selected to draw and announce the letters of the new name.

The first trapper drew a letter and announced the results, "C-eh."

And then the second trapper, "N-eh."

And the third, "D-eh."

The rest is history.
