Here's an email I received just a few nights ago. It's so true to me, and I hope you get a laugh out of it too! I'm adding some comments as well :)



Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Canadians:



If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May,
You may live in Canada .
Our walk-up Dairy Queen is closed from September through May lol

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there,
You may live in Canada .
When Scott and I were fixing the bathroom plumbing, we went to Home Depot and a retired plumber came to help us. He didn't work there. :D

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
You may live in Canada .
ABSOLUTELY! It happens every spring lol


If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number,
You may live in Canada .
Can't say this one has happened to me


If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of Detroit for the weekend,
You may live in Canada .
Yep!


If you measure distance in hours,
You may live in Canada .
Yep!


If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once,
You may live in Canada .
Definitely. I don't know how I've managed to not hit any in the 10 years I've been driving lol


If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again,
You may live in Canada .
Sounds like every spring and fall


If you can drive 90 km/hr through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching,
You may live in Canada .
Sometimes I flinch a little :)


If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked,
You may live in Canada .
Hahaha not in the city, but at home, yes!


If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them,
You may live in Canada .
I'm not a wife, but I know how to use them


If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit,
You may live in Canada .
I ALWAYS wore my costumes over snowsuits when I was little!

If the speed limit on the highway is 80 km -- you're going 95 and everybody is passing you,
You may live in Canada .
Yes!

If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow,
You may live in Canada .
Agree with this one too!


If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter,
and road construction,
You may live in Canada .
So true!


If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car,
You may live in Canada .
Lol I am not lucky enough to own a snowblower


If you find -2 degrees 'a little chilly',
You may live in Canada .
This morning it was -3 and I told Scott to turn on the heat in the car because it was a bit chilly :D


If you actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all your friends, you definitely are Canadian and proud to be.

I've definitely gotten these in an email before.. except it said "Alberta" instead of "Canada". Lol.

The unlocked doors is definitely NOT true for me or anyone who lives in a city haha.
Most of the rest are totally true. Especially the four "seasons".

Thanks Lindsey!
