Hell, or jail, or Canada

Arent’t they all just interchangable?

(I got the idea for this thread from an old Shel Silverstein poem. I thin it was “Rudy Felsh”. Anybody know for certain?)

Well, if I had a choice, I’d pick Hell, since I know no such place exists. Then jail, then Canada.

Interchangeable? Last time I checked (which was some time last year), the U.N. rated Canada as the best country in the world in which to live, for about the seventh year in a row (the U.S. ranked sixth, by the way)! If Canada is like Hell, how horrible must other countries be?

Go to hell!
Got to Jail!
Got to Canada?

The Canada line just does not fit.Somehow when I read the Title I thought this was going to be about a Vietnam Draft Dodger.

If you like to rip lips, Canada is the place to go. There be big fish there!

I’ll take Canada thank you…
Peacable people, good health care, and not at all like jail or hell, I would think.

I forgot to mention toques…we have toques.

I don’t want to turn this into a religious thread, but you don’t KNOW there isn’t a hell. You’re just pretty sure. Just like I don’t KNOW that the sun didn’t blow up 3 minutes ago.

What makes you think Canada would have you?

Ya!!! Very exclusive club up here.

Our border guards are a surly bunch.

Things you’ll need if you come to Canada:

Back Bacon…and plenty of it buster.

Flannel…yards and yards of flannel…or should I say meters of flannel.

Of course…you’ll have to check your guns at the border…you won’t need them up here.

I think JimmyNipples has the best name of any one I’ve seen on the Straight Dope!

Canada hands down. I like the crappy northern weather anyway, and there is some pretty stuff up there.

Curses! … just nursing my sunburn from yesterday’s crappy 28 degrees … guess I will have to go cool off in one of the many lakes in my area. If I can pull together my dog team out of their igloo and make my way through the snowdrifts!

Canada? Of course I would live there!
Eh, whats the problem hoser!

Rudy Felsh by Shel Silverstein

Rudy Felsh
Knows how to belch
Better than anyone ever did.
Margo says that Rudy felsh
Is a nasty vulgar kid.
Someday he will go to hell
Or jail or Canada, but now
every night I pray that first
Rudy Felsh will me show me how.
I never really thought about that line before. What WAS he thinking?

Thanx, mega! I think he was thinking what we’re all saying on this thread.

I would say Canada… at least our beer doesn’t taste like piss.

And we have toques.

Now, was that run and duck or duck and run?

But what is a toque?

And the last time I asked someone the definition of a word I didnt know I learned about squicking. But im pretty sure ill be safe this time.

I hope.

Toque: Knit hat usually worn in the winter. sometimes accompanied by a pom-pom on top.

Seen in the company of sailors and people skating on ponds. Snowboarders seem to like them too.

Definitly Canada for me. But then again, I already live in Canada, and I would never choose to move to another country.
