Wait whats so funny, these are real.

The other day I was going 80 Km/h when this bicyclist just cut me off going 120 Km/h. And when I'm coming home from chirch on Sunday I don't wanna see dead horses being dragged on the street.

These are serious issues.

If you had a wooden leg would you want some punk kids lighting it on fire?

No but if I saw a one legged man with his wooden leg on fire, I couldn't help but laugh. Do you think he could stop drop and roll without getting any splinters?

I once read a book on this same topic called "You Can't do That in Canada." Another one is in the province of Quebec you can't have butter coloured margarine. Also, hovercraft are illegal on Ontario highways.

This isn't strange, but i just find it too damn slow!

QUOTE
Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit in Canada is 50km/hr in cities and 80km/hr on highways. On rural highways, the posted speed limit may be 100km/hr (approximately 60 miles/h


Here we can do 60 even if its not on the highway, and more if it is on the highway.

and no radar detectors? c'mon

The way I see it, you can either work for a living or you can fly airplanes. Me, I'd rather fly.
