Post by Bamboo Grove »

THEY SPEAK ENGLISH BUT THAT'S ALL

Canadians: Are rather indignant about being mistaken for Americans when abroad.
Americans: Encourage being mistaken for Canadians when abroad.
Brits: Can't possibly be mistaken for anyone else when abroad.
* Aussies: Believe you should look out for you mates.
Brits: Believe you should look out for people who belong to your club.
Americans: Believe that people should look out for and take care of themselves.
Canadians: Believe that's the government's job.
* Aussies: Are extremely patriotic to their beer.
Americans: Are flag-waving, anthem-singing, and obsessively patriotic.
Canadians: Can't agree on the words to their anthem when they can be
bothered to sing them.
Brits: Do not sing at all but prefer a large brass band to perform the anthem.
* Americans: Spend most of their lives glued to the idiot box.
Canadians: Don't, but only because they can't get more American channels.
Brits: Pay a tax just so they can watch four channels.
Aussies: Export all their lousy programmes, which no one there watches, to Britain, where everybody loves them.
* Americans: Will jabber on incessantly about football, baseball and basketball.
Brits: Will jabber on incessantly about cricket, soccer and rugby.
Canadians: Will jabber on incessantly about hockey, hockey and hockey, and how they beat the Americans twice, playing baseball.
Aussies: Will jabber on incessantly about how they beat the Poms in every sport they play them in.
* Americans: Spell words differently, but still call it English.
Brits: Pronounce their words differently, but still call it English.
Canadians: Spell like Brits, pronounce like Americans.
Aussies: Add "G'day", "mate" and a heavy accent to everything they say in an attempt to meet women.
* Brits: Shop at home and have goods imported because they live on an island.
Aussies: Shop at home and have goods imported because they live on an island.
Americans: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas and liquor in a backward country.
Canadians: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas and liquor in a backward country.
* Americans: Seem to think that poverty and failure are morally suspect.
