Two friends lived in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. They were sick of winter, so they went to a travel agent and booked a trip to Australia.
When the two friends got off the plane -still dressed for Canadian winter weather -they wandered into a pub and sat down.
The locals wondered about these strangers, so one of the Aussies walked over to the visitors and said, “G’day, mates. Where’re you from?”
“Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,” one of the Canadians replied.
“Ahhhh,” said the Aussie, returning to his table.
“So where are they from?” the other locals asked.
“Don’t know, mate,” replied the Aussie.
“They don’t speak English.”
Bella was that you?
no but most definitely one of my relatives. sheesh!
Shouldn’t we be offended that Jon is making fun of Canucks?
That sort of thing sets some people off.
Bella isn’t falling apart. Infidel doesn’t seem insulted. Hmmm. Could it be that we’re trained to be offended by certain social contructs and we ignore others because we cannot get as much attention if we scream and holler at one of the lesser, much lesser, evils?
Shouldn’t we be offended that Jon is making fun of Aussies?
That sort of thing sets some people who are not Aussies off.

Geeez Mike, if you saw some of my relatives, you would understand why I don’t get upset. A whole bunch of fries short of a Happy Meal. I hear banjo’s everytime I see them. Also I think this joke might have something to do with a joke that I said a while back. I like it. I better be able to take it, coz I can sure dish it out. 🙂 People really should lighten up though.
For Bella…with respect…
Mike F, Ana and Bella were sitting naked in a sauna when suddenly there was a beeping sound. The American Mike F pressed his forearm, and the beep stopped. The others looked at him questioningly. “That was my pager he said. “I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.”
A few minutes later a phone rang. Ana the Aussie lifted her palm to her ear. When she finished she explained “That was my mobile phone, I have a microchip in my hand.”
The Canadian Bella felt decidedly low-tech, but not to be outdone, she decided she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped out of the sauna and went to the toilet. She returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her butt. The others raised their eyebrows and stared at her. The Canadian finally said “Well, will you look at that! I’m getting a fax.”
(for the record…I LOVE Canadians…Some of my favorite nieces and a brother-in-law are real Canuks – and they sent me this joke – with different names btw!!)
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Butt I am offended, just for Bella’s sake.
I like it!! I’m not offended just coz I got the shitty end of the joke. Ooops gotta go, getting another fax…. can hardly read them coz they’re so darkkkkk. maybe too much fiber
LOL @ Bella
Shoo Fly
One day an Aussie, an American and a Canadian walked into a pub together. They preceded to each buy a pint of Molson Canadian. Just as they were about to enjoy their beverages, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Aussie pushed his beer away from him in disgust. The American fished the offending fly out of his beer and continued drinking it as if nothing happened. The Canadian picked the fly out of his drink and started shaking it over the pint, yelling, “SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT YOU BASTARD!!!”
haha bella…..although as an aussie I must point out a flaw in that joke……no way would an aussie ever “push away a beer in disgust” 😛
I kinda thought you were more like us but I will gladly take that correction. XOXO Across the Sea.
I just watched a Canadian movie. Nuff said.
Oh, Ana!!! Most of them are sooooo bad. I agree. Canucks have a good sense of haha though. When we’re not freezin’ our a$$’ssss off. Anybody else got snow, yet?? Brrrrrrrrrrr.
Bella – BTW – I forgot to mention that…Thanks for the snow Canada sent us this week in N Ohio – about 6″ to 18″. Temperature is 8F this morning ( -13C).
But knowing it came from Bella makes it a lot easier to deal with…I sorta like it even.
And as I type this, the sun has come out!! It’s beautiful!!
(How’d you do that, Bella?)
I see this as a rare example of a joke that shouldn’t offend anyone. Nobody said anything stupid. You have to admit that Saskatoon, Saskatchewan is a funny place name.
Almost as funny as Regina.
Kinda like the cold hearted witch of the north riding on a little ray of sunshine, eh?
I didn’t see this as being offensive at all. It’s taking the piss out of a strange place name.
It’s a bit like making a jooke about Lickey End or Bell End, both of which are just up the road from where I live.
It’s not really offending anyone, it’s just odd and funny.
##Canuck Joke!
A Canadian takes his snowmobile into a mechanic, saying “There’s something wrong with this, it’s not working right.”
The mechanic listens for a second and says “It looks like you’ve blown a seal”.
The Canadian looks slightly mortified
“No, no! It’s just frost in my moustache!”
Good joke but I’m betting that he’s lieing.
