“...and now we don’t need to face the horror of 10,000,000 Canadian suicides.”
LOL!
That’s what I said to a guy at work on Friday. I told him to expect Jonestown-style mass suicides in cities all over Canada.
Except there wouldn’t be a vat of kool-aid that everyone drank from. It’d be a vat of really skunky Moosehead or Labatts.
Picture this...
A guy standing on a city street with a megaphone calling out “C’mon children, come and have some beer. You’ll feel better soon. The pain will go away. Besides, the Americans will be invading us soon.”
A sense of humour (humor) will always defuse a defeat. I like to say it exists here.
I remember bitter defeats of my own native country in the past. Sport raised above and beyond what it is. Once more I digress, hope I am forgiven.
The Russian football team came to England from war torn Russia in 1945. Everyone sorry for them. How could they even perform?
They beat mighty Arsenal 4-3 in a foggy London stadium. The Russian Captain Semischastney, appeared with two black eyes after ward. England took it too seriously, some fouled the Russian players. It was only a bloomin' soccer game.
Pardon the off topic, but we can all be good sports and have a laugh. Now there is Lord Stanley's Cup and I believe Canada does not have it. (chuckle).
