A Bluenose Moment
Usually on the way to work I stop at McDonald's for a coffee which affords me the opportunity to say hi to my wife. After receiving my medium double milk java I pulled out to the sidewalk waiting for a break in traffic. A group of young fellows were standing beside the door obviously trying to scrap enough money together to buy something. Still no break in the traffic. Feeling in a generous mood I rolled down my window and said. "Fellows I'll give you a fiver if any of you can guess what country my flag on the car was from. The first youth stated Iran, no cigar, second said India, no chance and the third of the group spoke up saying Ireland; no Limey here! The last fellow in the group was rather timid and looked like the missing link. Shyly he said Canada. Bingo. Dumb a$$ me! I gave him the fiver.
