Canada has a fast track for imigrants from Russia, Czeck, Slovak, Finn or Swede. We even let a couple of americans in under what is known as the "yeah but he can skate" clause of the immigration act.

If you'll take them, the American taxpayers will gladly train them to skate!

Having nothing to say, but wanting to contribute to this riveting discussion of the world's greatest game, I've dug up an old post from the Sports Forum on the original FCF.

Ping Pong: An amusing pastime for obsessive compulsive Bible College students who lack athletic ability. A pretend tennis game for pretend athletes.

Basketball: A sport invented by Canadians to keep arenas busy between hockey games. A harmless way for people who are too tall to work the cash registers at MacDonalds to fill in time.

Baseball: A spectator sport that is wildly popular among the comatose. An exciting alternative to watching paint dry. Its single redeeming feature is its provision of comic material to Abbot and Costello.

Football: A sport played in the mud by overweight wannabe athletes who can't skate. A helpful self esteem builder for the athletically impaired.

Hockey: The reason why God created ice.

Canadian Hockey: The reason why God created gold medals.

The next question is, "If he can't skate, will he fight?" If he can't skate and won't fight, we send him south to play football with the NFL.

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Leaf fans too. Not really knowing what an Leaf fan is, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their hands fly into the air.

There is, however, one exception. A little girl has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.

"Because I'm not an Leafs fan," she retorts.

"Then," asks her teacher, "what are you?"

"I'm a proud Vancouver Canucks Fan," boasts the little girl.

The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks the little girl why she is a Canuck fan.

"Well, my Dad and Mom are Canuck fans, so I'm a Canuck fan too," she responds.

The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What if your Mom was a moron and your Dad was an idiot. What would you be then?"

"Oh," says the little girl. "Well, then I'd be an Leaf fan."

A seven year old boy from Toronto was at the centre of a courtroom drama in an Ontario Superior Courthouse this morning when he challenged a court ruling over who should have legal custody of the juvenile. The boy has a history of being beaten repeatedly by both parents and the judge had previously awarded custody to the boy's aunt.

The boy confirmed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and refused to live there. When the judge then suggested that he be placed with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they beat him more severely than anyone. The judge, in an unprecedented ruling, dramatically allowed the boy, in spite of his youth and obvious inexperience, to make his own choice as to who should have legal guardianship over him.

In front of a packed and cheering courtroom this morning, custody was subsequently granted to the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS as the boy stated his firm belief that they are, in point of fact, not capable of beating anyone.

...and so the season begins !!!
