They always made wise cracks (pun intended) about the speed limit on highway 69 in Ontario being lickety split. A gopher from Saskatchewan decided he wanted to go to B.C. for a holiday. He gathered all the neighbors around and told them he was planning a trip and then began to tunnel. For days and days and days he dug. Under Western Saskatchewan, under Alberta, all the way under the Rocky Mountains until finally he tunneled up to the surface in the parking lot of the Silver Chalice Pub, in Hope B.C. Meanwhile, Susie who had been drinking beer in the Silver Chalice for nearly 11 hours, was staggering across the very same parking lot when she was seized by the urge to relieve herself of a gallon or so of surplus fluids. She squatted and commenced just as the gopher broke through to the surface. One horrified look and poor gopher tunneled back under the mountains, back under Alberta, back under Western Saskatchewan and finally popped up in his home town. All his friends, who had given up on ever seeing him again, crowded around and asked questions about B.C. "Well it rains so hard there," the gopher replied, "that even the birds build their nests upside down."
