Those wacky germans
(Anybody who lives in Canada, whether they speak French or not, can confirm that French signs are always twice as long as the English equivalent. I tell people it's because the second half of every French word is silent.)
We have two customers in Canada and I've been up there a few times. I rented a car in Montreal once... once. I travel a bit and have gotten pretty good at getting around in new places. But trying to find a road that's got a name with 50 letters in it while you going down the highway was fucking impossible. Especially when there's other 50-letter road names and their names only differ by a handful of letters in the middle of the name. I had to turn around three times between the airport and the hotel.
Then when I went to have some fun down by the water, I had trouble trying to find a parking spot. There's frech all over the place and I can't tell what's what, but I do no that sign with a P with a red line through meaning no parking. So I drive around for a while trying to do the right thing and find a legal spot to park, and finally see a spot and go have my fun. Bam, parking ticket. That spot is reserved for residents only. There was no way I would have ever figured that out. WTF!
I've been back to Montreal since (fun fact folks: Montreal is named after Mount Royal and sounds just like it), but I opted out of renting a car and took a cab instead.
It was funny to me how ever man had one beer at every lunch every time. We have a "no drinking while working" policy here, but you know, when in Rome. Too, when you're sitting in a circle with customers and there going around the table for drink orders.... I'll have a Molsen, Molsen here, Molson for me too, Molsen... you can't just bust out the ICED TEA at the end of that. And what's up with the lack of tea in Canada? Nobody's got it and if they do, it ain't brewed its that shitting fountain soda tea. FFS!

A false stereotype. A language only sounds as ugly as the speaker makes it sound;
So then Dutch would have been a far better candidate for that joke, not German.

Re: Parking in Canada
I did a 9 day trip in Quetico in the late '90s and it was awesome. The 22 hour busride up there kinda sucked.
They sure make us a feel welcome.
Ever hear 'em talk about how great Canada is compared to that sucky USA?

I thought it was funnier phrased:
Is your asshole jealous of the shit that comes out of your mouth?
The imagery provides a better pun.

Re: I'm so hungry, I could eat a..........
Indeed, why not? Other recommended mane courses include Aintree and Churchill Downs. That is, for those who enjoy stakes.
Wait, don't you guys have horse meat in your beef over there?

Re: MMA fighter eats horse meat ONLY
I'd totally eat horse meat. I'd prolly try eating almost anything, though. The last weird one I tried was aligator, it was like a cross between white fish and lobster, it was delicious.

To the rest of you guys; Stupidly, I didn't realize that you were joking about the horse thing on purpose

Re: Re:Makers Mark to be watered down?
What drink should I order?
The first time just try it on the rocks. Let it sit until a layer of water has formed on the top (if you can't wait then have them add a splash of water). You can sip it slowly and pull some of the concentrated whisky through that watered-down layer. Not so much that its too strong, but enough that you can get a good sense of the flavors.

It is more likely a rabbit.
