Tesseract Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 In a Canadian mall: Your hardpressed to find the security guard if your life depended on it. In an American mall: ten men in black suits, 4 security guards, and two cops close-off the area in front of a pizza shop because someone ripped the leaf of one of plants.

swansont Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 In canada' date=' the drivers at a red light stop their cars *behind* the crosswalk, not *in* the crosswalk.[/quote'] Stop? In many US cities, red means three more cars go through the light. A Canadian is just like an American, but with health care. An American is just like a Canadian, but with a handgun.

Sayonara Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Aussies: Dislike being mistaken for Pommies (Brits) when abroad. Which is fair enough, as you'd have to be some kind of blind deaf mute to mix them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iglak Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Canadiands don't lock their doors. Americans do. and more to the point: Canadians don't feel that they NEED to lock their doors. Americans do. and even further to my hidden point: Canada = not much fear. America = way, way too much fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The best (well, funniest) illustration of the American fear was that thing by Matt Stone and Trey Parker in Bowling for Columbine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Americans: Spell words differently, but still call it "English". Brits: Pronounce their words differently, but still call it "English". Those two are mutually exclusive, unless you're referring to a third party like the Zimbabweans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
