Pilsner would be fine - all we do up here in Canada is live in our igloos, drink, snowmobile, and make babies. LOL!!

Speak of Canada there was an absolutely funny fake interview that a Comedy show here in Canada did down in Arkansas. The show up here is called "This hour has 22 minutes" and its a spoof of a National News broadcast.

Last week one of their reporters went to Arkansas and interviewed actual people on the street and asked them if their Govenor would be knowledgeable enough on international affairs and relations in the chance that he might become a future President (being that is where Clinton came from). They all said they would definitely believe so.
So the reporter asked the people if the Govenor would have a good knowledge on Canada and the current leader of Canada "King Chretien". They all thought that he would have had dialog with our current King.

The reporter then asked them their advise on what Canada should name our new currency. Some ideas were to call our dollar the "Loonie". They looked at it a bit funny.

Then for the final clincher, the report got to actually interview the Arkansas Govenor and asked him to make a quick promotional statement on Canada's special "National Igloo Day". He did!!

ROFL!!! It is amazing how little they know about their biggest neighbour and trading partner. It makes for a ton of comedy material up here. Then Americans ask why Canada produces so many comedians. Easy answer, because our biggest and only neighbour to the south is the best straight man us comedians - ooops I meant Canadians - can have for new material!

Thought you might all enjoy the story.
