This here is an example of a sic(!) Canadian joke: (probably written by a ???)

Yesterday, scientists for Health Canada suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women. To test the finding, 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing and refused to apologize when wrong. No further testing is planned.

Accidents

The Canadian Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded

Only the province of Saskatchewan was different, where 89.3% of the final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this!"

[guess which province I live in!]

You think ethanol makes your truck "run a lot better."

You actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your Saskatchewan friends.

Sad Joke!

One day in Chicago, two boys were playing basketball when a rabid pitbull came along and started attacking one of them. The other boy picked up a plank of wood and rushed to save his friend. He hit the dog on the head and it died instantly. 

A week later, a reporter came to interview the boy and said, "This should make a great headline!" So he wrote on his notepad, "CHICAGO BULLS FAN SAVES BOY FROM EVIL DOG."

The boy then said, "Why have you put that I'm a Bulls fan? I'm not even from around here!"

"So where do you come from?" asked the reporter.

"I'm from Toronto," the boy replied.

The reporter then amended his headline to read, "CANADIAN BASTARD KILLS FAMILY DOG."

BUB Interprets that FAMOUS Canadian phrase *EH*! 

An American, a Scotsman and a Canadian

An American, a Scotsman and a Canadian are driving in a car when they hit some black ice and have a terrible accident. All three are thrown out of the car and are killed instantly. 

The next thing they know they are standing outside the gates of Heaven. There is an enormous line-up of people waiting to go through the gates. It is pure chaos: there are dozens of angels trying to keep everyone in line and in order. 

One of the three asks an angel what's going on. The angel tells him that there was a huge flood, a gigantic earthquake, a hurricane, tornadoes, etc. and that now there is a backlog of souls to be processed. 

"Tell you what, though," says the harried angel. "We want to get rid of all this paperwork, so if you give me $500, I'll send you back to the real world right now." 

The American realizes this is a great deal. He whips out his wallet and pays the angel $500 on the spot. 

*POOF! * The American is back at the accident scene. He stands up and is perfectly healthy. The cops and paramedics are amazed at this miraculous recovery and ask him what happened. The American relates the story. 

One cop scoffs at him. "What about the other two guys?" he asks. "Why are they still dead?" 

The last I saw of them," the American says, "The Scotsman was trying to talk the price down and the Canadian was saying 'Shouldn't the government pay for this?'

Three Canadians and three Americans are traveling by train to a hockey game.  At the station, the three Americans each buy tickets and watch as the three Canadians buy only a single ticket. "How are the three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an American. "Watch and you'll see," answers a Canadian.

They all board the train.  The Americans take their respective seats but all three Canadians cram into a bathroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets.  He knocks on the bathroom door and says, "Ticket please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The Americans see this and agree it was quite a clever idea. So after the game, they decide to copy the Canadians on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that).

When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Canadians don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed American. "Watch and you'll see," answers a Canadian. When they board the train the three Americans cram into a bathroom and the three
Canadians cram into another bathroom nearby.  Once the train leaves the station, one of the Canadians leaves and walks over to the bathroom where the Americans are hiding, knocks on the door and says, "Ticket please.

Another Groaner! or two!

A Canadian is walking down the street with a case of beer under his arm.
His friend Doug stops him and asks, "Hey Bob! Whacha' get the case of beer for?"
"I got it for my wife, eh." answers Bob.
"Oh!" exclaims Doug, "Good trade."

One day an Englishman, an American, and a Canadian walked into a pub together. They proceeded 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 Englishman 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!!!"
