doughboy1956 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Now that Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter Olympics these are some questions people the world over are asking!!!! Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism Website (frightening, isn't it)! Obviously the answers are a joke; but the questions were really asked!!!!!. Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK) A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die. Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? (UK) A: Depends on how much you've been drinking. Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto-can I follow the Railroad tracks?

Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada? (UK ) A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Ca-na-da is that big country ...oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Calgary. Come at 8 pm.. Q: Which direction is north in Canada? (UK) A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees Contact us when you get here and we ll send the rest of the directions. Some of us are so far North, you have to face south, to face North. Q: Can I bring cutlery into Canada? (UK) A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do. Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (Sweden) A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is.. oh forget it.

It's a kind of big horse with horns. (France) A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone walking close to them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking, while making short loud grunting noises. Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (UK) A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't quite get the one about asking for a list of ATM's and then answering what did your last slave die of. [/ QUOTE ] lol i think it means somethin like there are so many ATM's in those cities that you would practically die trying to find them, and that part about how the last slave died was saying what other random impossible feats do you ask other people to do or something like that if that makes any sense whatsoever lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
