hehe I love that. I didn't know a pike was anything other than a fish though lol, I guess I'm the naive one :P And what does everyone else call a touque? I don't brag about Celine Dion though. I love #11, it's so true.

I'm definitely not canadian

I was listening to Mitch Hedberg again and I didn't get this-"My wife is from Canada, if you can trick someone into thinking they're in Canada, you can get more money for a magazine"

[salomeyasobko]

i believe they're referring to the fact that something that costs 2.99 in US dollars would cost 3.99 in Canadian dollars.. or is it the other way around? i always get so confused with exchange rates

[cookiemonster]

[pb&j]

Canadian dollars are worth less than American dollars. As for the exact exchange rate, I have no clue.
