[Public-List] Power Tools

Thu Apr 16 12:08:54 PDT 2009

In Canada we have a home hardware/auto parts chain that is a national
institution called Canadian Tire (Crappy Tire in common-speak)

There is a joke we tell each other that goes like this:

How do you tell a Canadian from an American?

When an American is depressed, he drinks.

When a Canadian is depressed, he goes to Canadian Tire and wanders the isles
looking at power tools.
