At the boat show I'm playing for I'd like to do some fun stuff. I know there are some folks smarter than me around here so I've started a list and hope to get some more to add to it.
It goes like this-
It's time to head south: when-
-you go outside after it snows and can't find your car
-the kids have to put snowsuits under their halloween costumes.
-it goes above zero and people put shorts on.
-you don't have to hold your breath to turn blue.
-you have a dozen or more recipes for Moose Meat.
-when the four seasons go like this-winter, still winter, end of winter and almost spring.
-the "Red Green" show is your favorite TV program.
-you get excited whenever you can see bare ground.
-you have to wear spikes on your shoes and you're not a golfer.
-you carry salt in your car and it's not for consumption.
-you don't need a freezer for you food, you just leave it outside.

Geez, no one even commented. Good thing we didn't post jokes about 'mericans. We would be ducking nukes, incoming mortars, flame thowers, etc. etc...LOL.
One of my favorite real funny things. Our fire hydrants are painted yellow. It's snowing and the captain of our truck is half blind and can't wear glasses under a mask. We are coming up on a house fire, middle of the day, it's snowing and capt. sees something yellow.
"Take that hydrant right there" he says.
It's a kid in a yellow snow suit.
We still laugh at that every retirement party.

Well, I was going to say something about his moving to Mexico and then maybe he'd just be Gored. But I thought better of it.

There are two seasons in Canada - Construction and Hockey.
The Liberal Party is so old, it's over the Parliament Hill
Good Luck
Check out a Shel Silverstein poem called "The Mermaid" - very popular everywhere I've performed it.
