Title: You know you're Canadian when...
Post by: Ripsnort on July 03, 2001, 08:35:00 AM

Sorry if this is a repeat:

You Know You're Canadian When:

- You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

- You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

- Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in
with
snow.

- The local paper covers national and international headlines on two
pages,
but requires six pages for hockey.

- The municipality buys a Zamboni before a bus.

- You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars, and drink pop, not soda.

- You use a red pen on your non-Canadian textbooks and fill in the
missing
u's from labor, honor, and color.

- You know how to say free, prize and no sugar added in French thanks
to
your extensive education in bilingual cereal packaging.

- You know what a toque is.

- You've plugged a car in overnight.

- You've defended your property from trespassers with a lacrosse stick
because you don't own a gun.

It's a knit cap. Not sure if there's a more specific word.
