Humour in honor of the upcoming Olympics in Vancouver Canada!

On a slightly different note…Is it REALLY a Small World? Canada, Canadians and a Spot of Humor in Good Fun

These inquiries are clearly compiled from many different countries and I think as a fellow Canuck myself, it is important to laugh at

the silliness of humans…this is in good faith and thanks to Andrea Lee, one of my favorite coaches(also a fellow Canuck!) for reminding me of these

questions. With these upcoming Olympics, take a moment to respect the effort, hard work and tremendous levels of achievement of each one of these

awesome Olympians! Motivation, drive, passion and purpose and extreme effort are all qualities that each one of us as entrepreneurs must have to achieve

our true potential…so enjoy, smile and share a light hearted moment with me in celebration of the Vancouver Olympics!

With Vancouver hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics, apparently these are some questions people are asking. These have been excerpted from a greater article about questions posted at various tourism websites.

(I'm choosing not to ask who was paid to compile or answer them.)

Note: I've removed the countries of origin from the questions. It's all in good fun, and well, maybe just a little bit of a public service announcement.

Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow?

A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die.

Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street?

A: Depends on how much you've been drinking.

Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto – can I follow the Railroad tracks?

A: Sure, it's only four thousand miles, take lots of water.

Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada, but I forget its name. It's a kind of big horse with horns.

A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone walking close to them.. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

Q: Are there supermarkets in Toronto and is milk available all year round?

A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of Vegan hunter/gathers. Milk is illegal.

Q: Can I bring cutlery into Canada?

A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do!

As always…..let's connect through conversation and the best way to start? By adding a comment here on our blog!

Thanks

LMAO,
Not sure which are funnier, the questions or the answers. Sure glad I will be watching Olympians do their thing from the safety of my couch–Canada is a wild and crazy place!
