Joke

And on the sixth day, the Lord turned to the Archangel Gabriel and said to
him "Today, I'm going to create a land called Canada. It will be a land of
outstanding natural beauty, with tall majestic mountains, full of mountain
goats and eagles, beautifully sparkly lakes bountiful with carp and trout,
forests full of elk and moose, high cliffs overlooking sandy beaches and with
an abundance of sea life in the oceans off the coasts,and powerful rivers
stocked with salmon."


And the Lord continued "I shall also make the land rich in oil and gas, and in
gold, silver, copper and other ores so to make the inhabitants prosper. I shall
name these inhabitants 'Canadians', and they shall be forever known as the
friendliest people on the face of the Earth."


"But Lord," asked Gabriel, "don't you think you're being too generous to these
Canadians?" "Not really", replied the Lord, "just wait and see the neighbours
I'm going to give them."
