ELECTION DAY IN CANADA.....



So, after work we immediately went to our voting station and did our duty. And let me tell you, this time I voted differently than I ever have. Why? Because I REFUSE, FLATLY R.E.F.U.S.E. to vote someone in who might take back what I'm so proud of Canada for doing....and that is giving gays and lesbians in our country the right to same-sex marriage. Anyway, 'nuff said. I'm SO not a political person, but this was important to me.

And, speaking of politics, this had me laughing and I wanted to share it....... it's just a joke, not poking fun at any of my Canadian brothers and sisters. But I AM poking fun at "Dubya"....


CANADIAN CONFIDENCE

George Bush was in the Oval Office wondering which country to
invade next, when his telephone rang...

"Hallo, President Bush" a heavily accented voice said. This is Archie, up
'ere at the Harp Seal Pub in Badger's Cove, Newfoundland, Canada ey?
I am callin' to tells ya dat we are officially declaring war on you ey!"

"Well Archie," George replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is
your army?

"Right now," said Archie, after a moments calculation "there is myself, me
cousin Harold, me next-door-neighbor Mick, and the whole dart team from the
pub. That makes eight!"

George paused. "I must tell you Archie, that I have one million men in my
army waiting to move on my command."

"Holy jeez," said Archie. "I'll have ta call ya back!"

Sure enough, the next day, Archie called again. "Mr. Bush, the war is still
on! We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be Archie?", George asked.

"Well sir, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Harry's farm
tractor."

President Bush sighed. "I must tell you Archie, that I have 16,000
Tanks and 14,000 armoured personnel carriers. Also I've increased my army to
One and a half million since we last spoke."

"Lard T'underin' Jaysus, bye", said Archie, "I'll be getting back to
ya."

Sure enough, Archie rang again the next day. "President Bush, the war
is still on! We have managed to git ourselves airborne! We up an' modified
Harrigan's ultra-light wit a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and
Four byes from the Legion have joined us as well!"

George was silent for a minute then cleared his throat. "I must tell
You Archie that I have 10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter planes. My
Military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile
sites. And since we last spoke, I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!"

"Jeysus, Mary and Joseph," said Archie,"I'll have ta call youse back."

Sure enough, Archie called again the next day. "President Bush! I am
Sorry to have to tell you dat we have had to call off dis 'ere war."

"I'm sorry to hear that" said George. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Well, sir," said Archie, "we've all sat ourselves down and had a long
chat over a bunch of pints, and come to realize dat dere's no way we can
feed two million prisoners."

CANADIAN CONFIDENCE CANNOT BE SHAKEN!


Allrightythen...... so I went to work today feeling like a complete pile of shit. Fever, body aches and a cough that won't stop. Which is excrutiatingly embarassing when you're dealing with members across the counter from you. You can see the way they look at the papers and cards etc. that you pass to them, they don't want my germs, and can I blame them? No, I feel the same way around sick people too. At any rate I hated not to go in today, but if I don't get some much needed sleep tonight (hacking all night again), I just won't be able to do another full day like today. I feel a whole lot worse tonight for not having just tried to get some rest.

Again, 'nuff said. I'll get better, we all do. And on that note, I'll leave you all with the usual.....take good care of each other! God bless!

Love Jude
