A long time ago, on a website far, far away...

There was a series of pics showing the "stereotypical" fans from every CFL city. I think it was a CFL marketing schtick meant to be humourous, though today I imagine it would raise the hackles on anyone in any of those burgs.

I'm talking about what was once the "CFL Zone" but no longer exists. Not in this world anyway. But I recall having some great discussions there. Good times. Good times.

The joke: People in Vancouver think that other Canadians think of it as Canada's dumb blond. Aside from when they don't think of it at all, or if asked, hear it has a reputation for being full of hippy granola-crunchers and Asians. And now, expensive houses.

I took my broken vacuum cleaner back to the store. They put a Toronto Maple Leafs' jersey on it and now it sucks again.
***

Three contractors are bidding to repair a fence at the Parliament Buildings. One is from Montreal, another is from Winnipeg and the third is from Vancouver.
All three go with a public works official to examine the fence.
The Vancouver contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil ."Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $9,000. That's $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."
The Winnipeg contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7,000.
That's $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."
The Montreal contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the government official and whispers, "$27,000."
The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?”"The Montreal contractor whispers back, "$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Winnipeg to repair the fence.""Done!" replies the government official.

Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans, successfully produced and patented an electric filament lamp before Thomas Edison in their Toronto lab in 1873. So proof the world has been revolving around us since at least 1873.
