I immediately wrote to Mr. Casper congratulating him on making explicit what I had long assumed to be his habit as regards financial statements and referring him to Roger Daltrey's famous quote about tax exiles "wanking over their bank books". He never replied but, in his pictures, his hands are concealed and he's squinting so, I guess, stocks and bonds are still his thing.
It deserves it's own award!
If we are able to use this terminology freely here then i can personaly think of a few 'WANKERS' hehe!...

Re: You know you're becoming canadian when you...!
just wanted to bring the old thread back as there are some good stories here for all to share. We really did have a good laugh with this one.

The smell of skunk i am slowly adapting to and i wear allot of baseball caps.
Does this me i am finally becoming canadian?
what else do i need to do?
