Forget Rednecks, here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Canucks:

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in Canada.
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in Canada.
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Canada.
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in Canada.
If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of Detroit for the weekend, you live in Canada.
If you measure distance in hours, you live in Canada.
If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Canada.
If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you live in Canada
If you can drive 90 kms/hr through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Canada.
If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you live in Canada.
If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you live in Canada.
If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Canada.
If the speed limit on the highway is 80km -- you're going 90 and everybody is passing you, you live in Canada.
If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Canada.
If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, you live in Canada.

I think many of these also apply to Americans, at least those of us who live along the border anyway. The one about speeding on the highway is most definitely true, however. An American driving on the QEW is taking his life in his hands.

I do know one thing for certain – if you ask for directions in Canada and the tell you to "go straight past the Tim Hortons ‘bout a kilometer, eh? Then turn left at the Tim Hortons, eh? Keep going past two more Tim Hortons and then turn right at the Tim Hortons, eh?" You’ll find the place down the road aways, across the street from the Tim Hortons, eh?" Well, let me just say, you are most definitely in Canada.
