Here's one to add.

A yank (driving a US car) was flagged down for doing 161 in a 100 zone. When the patrolman asked him "you know how fast you were going", he promptly replied "yeah, 100 Kanadian Miles Per Hour".

This has been passed around by e-mail for a long time. For instance, in 2000, for the Summer Olympics in Syndey, Australia, there was a very similar posting. In 2003, there was also a version made up on a South African tourism website as well.

Here's the proof: Snopes on the Olympics

It's still humorous, but probably not true.
