Does that mean that we have the head to cover it too? ^.- And that you guys are the "lower" half of the body? Florida's shape kind of gives that away. :wink:

I'm glad I moved away from Florida. "That joke" really gets old after you hear it for the thousandth time.

Also, my reaction to "Canada is America's hat" has always been "It's a pretty big hat then. There's more hat than wearer." You know, considering that Canada's one of the only two countries larger than the US.

In Canada we have been blessed with the opportunity to benefit from British government, French culture and American know-how.

Sometimes, though, it feels like we got saddled with British know-how, French government and American culture.

Kinda reminds me of what JFK said about my hometown and our nation's capital: " Washington DC combines the grace and charm of a northern industrial city with with the efficiency of a small southern town!"
