Well, last year for example, it was on the local news how an american fed a bear some smarties, and then got attacked when he ran out of them. The individual did not sustain mortal injuries, but serious enough. After a short stint in the hospital, the embarrassement was the worst of it all. VERY LUCKY INDIVIDUAL *sigh* ils sont fous ces americains!




Then theres the classic story of a pair of americains coming up to Hearst to hunt moose. They asked the locals where would the best place be, and as a joke the locals told them to go out on the highway and look for a sign with a moose on it. Stop at this sign, and wait for the moose to come.

The americains did just that and shot their moose within an hour!

(Those signs are for moose crossings, to warn drivers to be aware that moose may be on the road. It is illegal to hunt or fire a gun beside the road, and generally spekaing moose might not be seen in the viscinity for days, especially when a couple of cowboys are around. The americains had been lucky to shoot their moose, they where even luckier not to be arrested and charged.)



Or course there where these americain tourists who come down every now and again and are amazed at the beers sold in the bars, as well as the fact that women in the strip clubs actually take off ALL their clothes. This forms a re-occuring theme for many tourists in our region.



Finally, back in my tree planting days, a tree planting company other than my own but planting in fields near by found an americain that had been missing since the autum prior. This is a bit of a sad story, as the americain individual had goten lost in the bush and did not make it out alive (the individual had been camping and was lost within 15 kilometers of the city, now this takes someone with absolutely NO sense of direction to actually get lost in the 'semi-bush' in a fatal maner). Imagine for a moment the tree planter planting trees every six feet on a sweaty summer day landing upon a half decomposed body! The shock alone would make the moment unforgetable.

got a few more, but I think you get the picture - yes? eh?


ILS SONT FOUS CES AMERICAINS!
