Let me offer this possible addition...

3a: Replace moose with beaver as needed.

Another Canadian icon being abused.

The real challenge is how to fit in the maple leaf!

Replace "blonde" with "Newfie" as the one who does something stupid in the joke. I never understood why they make fun of people from Newfoundland...

I have a coworker who is from Newfoundland. When he moved out of Newfoundland, people didn't call him by his name, they called him "Newfie". And in a lot of jokes people told, the Newfie was the one who did something stupid. Needless to say, he was not happy with the prejudice that a lot of people had.

(tbontob fingers itch to start a discussion on the sorry plight of Newfoundlanders, but refrains from doing so as the topic is supposed to be one of the "funny-bone".)

Oh heck! Maybe bring something up that is partially on topic.

Is there any connection in the "moose" or "Newfie" jokes and the fact that there is 1 moose to every 3 or 4 Newfoundlanders in Newfoundland?

What is this based on? Personaly I would rather come face to face with a moose than a grizly or polar bear.

Good joke, tesco!

Obviously, you live in the east. Ontario? Toronto, perhaps?

Wish I had heard it in the middle 80's when we had intense rivalry between the Oilers and the Flames. Guess who would have been the shark attack victim?

I am Canadian!

Go to that site and go down to the 6th file that says, "I am Canadian!" It is a funny clip.

Yeh, I thought it was funny too when I first saw it.

It is a TV commercial for a Canadian Beer called, you got it, "Canadian" and is usually shown when a hockey game is being played.

I still get a chuckle out of how us "poor little" Canadians are maligned by the "supposed" Americans.

And what do we Canadians do when the repressed rage suddenly breaks through? We pull his shirt over his head like they do in hockey!

If you can, try to "see" the commercial. It's much funnier.
