Default Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.

Primitive, that is amusing. LOL

Our moose do not act like that...at least I haven't heard they are. Maybe it is because of our greater land area, so moose and people tend to not come into intimate contact.

Drunk moose! I have heard of drunken birds and drunken small animals, but a drunken moose is a new one on me!

My impression is that the moose is a shy, retiring creatures who would rather run away than fight...unless the bull moose is in heat at which time he can be unpredictable. But fight they will if cornered by wolves, etc.

So, I thought someone out there would have contested this statement I made earlier:

Is it true? Yes, but not in what people normally perceive it to be.

But how? Road accidents. Hitting a moose is like hitting a brick wall. Anywhere from a half ton to almost a ton of it.

They are just doing what moose do, going from one place to another. And, of course crossing the road. In Norway it would be to eat apples and have a good time.
