I work for tourism NS and I LOVE MY JOB, but, I hate the mis-informed Americans (in general) that call me to bitch about NS and clubbing the seals, first off if they did their reasearch they would see that the hunt is actually in NFLD and we have harbour seals here in NS with NO FUR PELTS, I wish they would educate themselves before they call me to complain about it, I respect how they feel even though it might or might not be the way I feel, but I wish they would be more educated before they start to bitch!!

Most Americans couldn’t find the nose on their face, let alone distinguish between N.S. and Newfoundland. What a bunch of morons. Wouldn’t you like to beat them with Heather Mill’s good leg?
Sign me up guys, but I want to beat them with the stump… I’ll leave the good leg for you guys to fight over 😉
Years ago, there was an article on N.S. Tourism in the local rag and they listed the stupidest questions they ever received from Americans. At the top of the list was some Yank who asked where they stored the rocks at Peggy’s Cove during the winter. He apparently thought they were inflatable.
Wasn’t it already decided that they were to be fucked in the ass with Heather Mills’ fake leg?
My favorite Heather Mills joke.. Paul McCartney was asked by a journalist, will you ever go down on one knee again? Sir Paul replied, I would prefer if you call her heather! Sorry Qwert… couldnt resist…
Or… Did you hear that Paul’s giving Heather her own plane as part of their divorce settlement? She still has to shave the other leg herself though.
Sung to the Beatles’ ‘Yesterday’:Heather Mills Far too quickly went from thrills to chills Wish I had one of those pre-nup deals Dear God, save me From Heather MillsSuddenly I’m less loaded than I used to be Wish she’d mentioned her pornography The skank went rank So suddenlyWhy she’s such a ho I don’t know That’s my complaint She wants all my dough Makes Yoko Look like a saintHeather Mills I’d give my left leg for poison pills Bet she lost hers kicking baby seals Dear Hell, please take Back Heather MillsI couldn’t resist.
Oh no… What have we started now????
Wow.. from seals to Heather Mills (who the hell cares about heather mills!) you guys really know how to stay on topic. Jenn, if you thinkg the Americans are bad, you should see what everyone else in Canada knows about the rest of Canada. Sometimes i get dumber questions from people out west of some in central. Some don’t even know what halifax is and they’re canadian!
Coyotex, it is perhaps somewhat comforting to know ignorance knows no boundaries!! 🙂 lol
Maybe you could refer the callers to the correct gov’t dep’t. Isn’t Loyola Hearn the minister of Fisheries and Oceans?
The stupidest question I ever heard of was from my Dad. He was downtown one day that a cruise ship came in. He was asked get this “Where is downtown Canada?”
I always get asked by westerners if people in Nova Scotia speak Newfie…
@coyotex”I TOLD you to stay on topic, motherfuckers!” BWAHAHAHAHAI will always love you for that, qwerty.
I used to work at a certain “geometric shape” Irish Pub near the waterfront. I had heard some pretty stupid ones there. Someone onceasked me “…is that place on the other side of the harbour Newfoundland?” I said no it is Prince Edward Island, if you are near the water you can see the Confederation Bridge. “…well it doesn’t look like the one in the pictures…” I told them, that’s because the “old” one fell down after the natives put a curse on it, the one you see now is the new one.
HAHAHAHA! Tourist baiting is a time honoured tradition. I used to tell them Musquodoboit was pronounced “mosquito bite”.
LMAO @ mosquito bite – that’s awesome!
Hmmm I was away for the weekend and then come back to see this post has gotten a little off topic LOL, still funny none the less
