"On a Canadian two dollar bill, the flag flying over the Parliament Building is an American flag."

Sorry, It's the "Red Ensign", Canada's flag until replaced by the current design in the mid 1960's. PW.

Q. Which U.S. coin has an image Lincoln on both sides?

A. Once cent coin. If you check, you can see the Lincoln's statue between the pillars.

Also, for all of our edification, the song referred to by the state of Ohio is "Hang on Sloopy", not Snoopy.

These are quite intruguing!

------------------

A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss,
concerned about all his employees' well being, asked sympathetically,
"What's the matter?" To which the blonde replies ... "Early this
morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away." The
boss, feeling very sorry at this point, explains to the young girl.
"Why don't you go home for the day ... we aren't terribly busy. Just
take the day off to relax and rest."

The blonde very calmly states ... "No, I'd be better off here. I need
to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here."
The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work as usual ... "if you need
anything, just let me know."

Well, a few hours pass and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He
looks out over his office and sees the blonde hysterically crying!! He
rushes out to her, asking, "What's so bad now ... are you gonna be ok??"

"No ..." exclaims the blonde. "I just got a call from my sister. She
told me that HER mom died too!!"
