And I thought maybe you had had 5 beers and were dropping your S's. LOL

IT's funny that Canadians drop the "S" but add U's elsewhere.

Frankly having never meet a Canadian and hearing how great they have it and how wonderful it is to live there I'm starting to believe it's just a story. A fable like Atlantis. Yeah thats it just a made up dream.
I bet the Canadian goose is really a Minnisota goose. They just don't want to brag. HEHE

A Minnisota goose? Isnt that something that they do to you as a joke? You can get a T-Shirt that reads I got goosed in Minnisota.

You can tell if its a Canadian Goose or not, there are two ways. One is how it measures distance, if the goose travels in Kilometres its Canadian. The other is if you listen to them when flying, the ones that honk are regualar geese, the ones that dont honk are being polite and are obviously Canadian.

But on another note just remember that the Canadians are the only country to come into the United States and to show their displeasure of things they burnt the whitehouse. Of course this was before it was the whitehouse, but after it was burnt they painted it white to cover the burn marks and thus it became the White House.

Constructed of white-grey sandstone that contrasted sharply with the red brick used in nearby buildings, the presidential mansion was called the White House as early as 1809. President Theodore Roosevelt officially adopted the term in 1902.

Invading British troops burned the White House during the closing months of the War of 1812. Rebuilt and enlarged under the direction of Hoban, it was reoccupied by James Monroe in 1817
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The two-story house was one of the nation's largest. East and west wings and other additions came later. Initially referred to as the President's House, it was called the Executive Mansion when rebuilt after the British burned it in the War of 1812. However, the name White House became popular with the general public and in 1902 Theodore Roosevelt made it official.


Now JD why would you claim responiblity for burning down someones house
Of course we are probably rewritting history to suit our present good relationship with the beer errr bear from the north.

Ahh maybe you consider yourself british or a least the same??? I forget our past are somewhat different. I would never consider myself british however you may not feel the same way or look on it like I do. With a family history of McCormick and Eldred and Underhill and Whitney you would think I'm Brit. LOL
