Hey Jeannie, Some days a good laugh is just what the Dr. ordered, makes me forget to take myself too seriously. Thanks for the laugh, just what I needed today.
Loved this! And if true, nice to know the USA is not the only country so ignorant of Canada! (I'm part Canadian, so I'm not quite as bad-I actually know a tiny bit about Canadian geography even-and I've even been in Canada, and enjoyed it!)
