"I never have figured out why you Canadians stay up there"

It has to do with a Byng Crosby song.

"we might buy that ice sheet called Canada! :-)"

Diamonds, wood, gas, water, and hydro! You were certainly be getting started! Just watch for the white bears. They use grizzlys to stuff peppers with.

"We already got it!"

My understandin is they can vote themselves independent at will!

"We'll just walk away and all their problems are strictly theirs."

Naw. They gotta learn American ways. Without principles...where are ya? Huh?!

"So what's the problem with them owning land in the Caymans?"

They are only allowed to own land in Topeka. Is Topeka in the Caribbean? I don't think so...:-)

"Two? You think the US didn't have thousands of fighters and bombers in European airspace? And didn't control US airspace?"

THREE?

Canada had 185 ACES in WW1. Two dozen of them shot down more than 20 planes. The U.S, had 121 aces. And TWO of them had over 20 hits.

But I don't doubt that you were up there flying over your airspace as you claimed!

Seriously--don't take this seriously, ok! I saw what you could do on the ground when you fought the bloodiest war in all of history--THE CIVIL WAR.

So I'll pass on meeting Bubba in a trench with a pint of Jim Beam and a bag of powder. Thanks, but no thanks!

I'll stay in the plane where we are sooooooo good! :-)
