I told some Japanese friends that you had to make your igloo really well or the polar bears would break in and eat you and your family.
To some greek folks: That the Beaver isn't real,that it was just a myth.
I someone once asked me if I rode a dogsled. I acted shocked and said "don't be stupid, I’m too young for my dog sledding license".
I said to someone that lived outside of Canada: We have a lot of good sayings where I come from, that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. Please and thank you come to mind!

Does anyone know where I got that from?
***Warning: This is tastless soldier humour.***
Whenever we had to host foreign units in Canada, we occasionally used to get asked what kind of "reception" they might expect when out and about on some time off prior to heading home. We'd roll our eyes and it would go something like:
Foreigner: "So, what the night life like in Edmonton? Are there any good bars and shit?"
Canuck: "Yep, tons of bars. They sort of like the military there, so it's fun and the girls will talk to you."
Foreigner: "Really?! That's good! They all speak English right?"
Canuck: "Yep, most of them. They'll really like you guys though because you're "exotic". Not run-of-the-mill, like us guys."
Foreigner: "Cool! So what are the girls really like? Will they do the "wild thang"?"
Canuck: "Oh yeah, they're game for anything, but watch out, they'll try and force oral sex on you..."
Foreigner: "What?! Really? I like oral sex..."
Canuck: "...Ugh! It gets so tiring! Too much of a good thing makes it bad, you know?"
Foreigner: "You're shitting me. No fucking way."
Canuck: "It's true! I swear! Hey Bloggins! (this to a passing Canadian soldier) Canadian girls always try and suck your dick right?"
Canuck 2: "Yeah, its a fucking drag. I fucking hate oral sex." Then he walks away.
Foreigner: "Wow. I'll have to check that out for sure!"
Sometimes I wonder how many faces got slapped over that stunt.
really liked the soldier story. I'll pass it on to some buddies in the reserves. thumbs up.
Mine:
Whenever traveling, if someone you meet knows a Canadian, they expect you to know him/her as well. This will happen to you. So, have a damn good story ready. eg.
Yeah, "john smith" i know him. The cops picked him up last week for indecent exposure. He was drunk and flashing people on the bus.
Let it go as long as possible, then please tell the truth. We don't know everyone else in the country.
ps-tell john i have his bail money ready:)
the polar bear stole my muc-lucs.... or however you spell it
