Sadly, I missed out on this rite of passage. My brother adhered his tongue to the metal door handle of my parents' Datsun in 1970 and from then on, they were like tongue police during the winter. *sigh* .... the fun I missed out on being the younger sibling!!!

what do you mean sadly. im sure next winter you could try it for yourself so you dont feel left out.

Wouldn't that be a fun one to explain to my co-workers.

"Well you see, I wanted to feel REALLY Canadian, so I decided to stick my tongue to the flagpole, just 'cause I didn't have the opportunity to do that as a child....."

Hey.
I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader, and I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dog sled, and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.
I have a Prime Minister, not a President. I speak English and French, not American, and I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I believe in peacekeeping, not policing; diversity, not assimilation; and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A tuque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch, and it is pronounced zed: not zee – zed!!
Canada is the second largest land mass! The first nation of hockey! And the best part of North America!
My name is Joe!! And I am Canadian!

Brings a tear to your eye, and makes the heart skip a beat......doesn't it???

This is the commercial I was in. Worked for Molson's as a rep, and they had me and a guy I worked with handing off beers. During the olympics (i think it was winter olympics 2002) we were in the Molson Canadian Commercial that was I Am Canadian as well
Wow, that was actually a long time ago now!

Don't we have a thread of this variety every 6-8 weeks?

To the OP.....GREAT THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to the PP who pointed out the superior size of our balls.....well, let's just say you made my morning!

I can't believe you didn't try it just to find out if it was true.....I think I tried in grade 2.

It's also nice not being attacked by alligators while shopping for a used car. Saw that on the news last night. In Florida someone got attacked by alligator while looking at used cars. Man it's good to live in Canada.
