I agree totally about not discussing Politics if you are not on the same side.........

I also agree with taking your shoes off when you come inside.

Noone here does and it drives me nuts........lol

Good good this is the kind of stuff I need to know :D

I'm chatting with her right now and I pointed her to the post and she also laughed outloud.

I supposedly have 4 days left on this oil rig in the middle of the ocean here in Brazil and she is finishing up her last work day in Hong Kong today.

These last few days are driving us mad, we just want to be together!!!

So I figured this post would be a good way to help us ALL laugh together and help pass the time.

just a plain ole american

Got one for you, just saw it while in Montreal. American tourist going to pay for shuttle bus ticket. American male to ticket counter guy "what do you prefer US money or Canadian Money?" Buddy, your in another country use that countries currency... american money isn't superior and a great novelty to us that we are dying to get it. Ticket counter guy's reply...."it doesn't matter they are worth the same amount"

1. I echo the "shoes" issue. And if for some reason you forget to take your shoes off, DO NOT, under any circumstances put your feet on the coffee table or couch wearing shoes!

2. Tell her how much you think Canada rocks better than the rest of the world. :D

Oh man. This, this, and this. Not taking your shoes off is the height of rudeness in Canada. It would be like someone waltzing in and taking off their pants and heaping them on the furniture, and then scratching their balls in front of you and your guests.

Lesse what else... wait, I know. Do. No. Do.

unless you want your wife to break out that 'Canadian Rage' (wait, we have Canadian Rage?) and take you out Hockey Night In Canada style.

Don't insult Poutine as being gross whilst praising Pork Rinds and Sausage Gravy.

Erm. Did she go to University? Up here, University and College are two entirely different things. You risk offending a university grad by implying they went to a college. You go to university to become an engineer, you go to college to become a welder. No offense to welders, of course.

My fiance has piped in "Never say Canada is the 51st State". Er, yeah.

And lastly, don't make fun of her accent. Not all Canadian use 'eh' as every second word, and it's insulting to insist as much. I know it might be hard to resist (at least it seems to be for most!) ;)

I'm sure she'll bring you up short if you err anyway, so not to worry. :thumbs:

Even before we were married, Mel put a Canadian flag outside the house, next to the American one. That was sweet :)

Some of his friends made some stupid comments- I let some Canadian rage come out and they shut up about it in a hurry :devil:
