You don't need to look at the tailgate to figure that out, just look at the rest of the truck :shock:

In any event, no surprises about the tailgate either... isn't that what the US foreign policy is about?

Look up a Canadian comedian called Rick Mercer. He is abit of an Ali G in that he interviews well known Americans and asks ridiculous questions. Though he looks more credible as a reporter...

In one instance he was asking the Governor of Texas what he thought about the fact that Canada was building the world's largest freezer due to the fact that the parliament buildings were melting....

Another instance seems him talking to Bush and congratulating him on his victory. He mentions that Canada's Prime Minister Celine Dione wanted to extender her warmest congratulations. Bush responded that she was a great PM....

And yet a third instance sees him interviewing some Professor at one of the Ivy League schools asking about how they felt about the Canadian Navy needing to keep its ships in US ports due to the fact that Canada had no access to water. The professor gave some lengthy reply about good foreign relations and how the US had to support it land locked neighbour to the North....

Re: only in america.....

When I worked with English Heritage in my time as a carpenter and joiner I spent 3 yrs working on hampton court after the fire. I returned some years later with Trudy to show her around some of the work and was recognised by an usher who talks to visitors. She arranged for me to go around with a party of Americans to explain what had happened and how we rebuilt the wing that burnt down ...and no word of a lie one american woman said was nt it clever of Henry to put the palace so close to heathrow airport :roll: I asked her how long her holiday was and the reply was 2 weeks she then said she had seen EVERTHING there was to see in the UK from John OG to Lands end

Aren't we lucky to live in such a superior country with no knobheads of our own, with our entire population wise enough not to judge a whole country of 270,000,000 people by the comment on the back of one truck and where none of us ever go abroad and make asses of ourselves.

Phew!

See, knob would have sufficed, which was aimed at the idiot that owned the pickup, most likely never having owned a passport. And you guys had to go and widen the disscusions and upset one of our American brothers, Gezz guys have some respect. And it was all started by a Spainard. Bit like Vietnam, bloody french.

And as for Canadians they cant make up there minds if there American, French or English.
