I have a story for you it comes form Alaska.
This fishing guide/ helicopter pilot picks up a client to go fishing on the famous Alaskan salmon streams. Now this client was a New Yorker and had brought some of the best gear that the guide had ever seen -all new with price tags on it. As he is dropping his client off at a sandbar in the river he notices that he doesn't have a gun to protect himself from the bears. So he offers him his 44 Colt. The New Yorker looks at him and holds up a can of bear spray with 12% oleocapasicum- strong stuff. He says, "I don't need to kill bears in order to go fishing!" The guide agrees and off he flies. While leaving the area motion on the sand bar attracts his attention he circles back to see if his client had got a fish on already. He lands on the sand and here is his client rolling of the ground screaming................. It seems that nobody had told this New Yorker that you don't apply bear spray like mosquito repellant.
You can find stupid just about anywhere. I'd like to have seen that pilot try to navigate NYC with total aplomb.
Just cause the US gets tons of coverage in the world press doesn't mean we're any stupider/lazier/more foolish than any other country. We just do it more out in the open.
Population of USA ~= 10x Canada and growing, therefore assuming all other things equal, 10 USA idiots for every 1 Canadian idiot.
Well, we've got our one Canadian idiot -
spam. Americans, ante up your ten.
