My Winter Jitters

The weather has officially gone nuts...it was a nice 1 degree celcius a few days ago...and then on Friday night, it was a -8, which is bareable...but suddenly friday night/early saturday morning it just went nuts, it wasn't snowing, it was bright and sunny but the darned windchill was -36 C degrees at one point...and the next day it was "warmer" a nice comfortable -20 C.
I am glad I wasn't working for these two days, but that didnt stop me from pulling out the long-johns and making a trip to the corner store and curse my damn luck... thinking to myself...what the hell was I thinking...why the fuck would I give up 17 degree winters and come to this hell hole....damn damn damn....what the hell was I thinking...why, why on god's great earth would someone want to live here? And Its not just me I am talking about.

The folks who discovered/founded this land, Canada, they were here before America was formed...and they looked at the whole continent, they said, oh "Who needs the damn beaches and warm, tropical weather...we'll just take this big chunk of Ice right here!!!!"
Only the British would be dumb enough to send all the convicts to Warm Sunny Australia and settle here.

Anyways, the last few days, I've been thinking up these "You-Know-You're-In-Canada" jokes...
here are a few of them.....

1. You know you're in Canada when you have to wear 4 layers of clothing to go have a smoke.

2. You know you're in Canada when you say, "Oh it must have warmed up a bit, its snowing!"

3. You know you're in Canada when you wear a University of Indiana tee that has "Indiana" written across it, and the guy on the bus looks at you and says, "Indian, eh?"

4. You know you're in Canada when George W. Bush visits and says, "I am glad the people who turned up to welcome me were waving it at us...and and I especially glad they were waving with with all five fingers!"
