Oh Canada
---------
An elderly woman lived on a small farm in Canada, just yards away
from the North Dakota border. Their land had been the subject of
a minor dispute between the United States and Canada for years.
The now widowed woman, lived on the farm with her son and three
grandchildren.
One day, her son came into her room holding a letter. "I just got
some news, Mom," he said. "The government has come to an agreement
with the people in North Dakota. They've decided that our land is
really part of the United States. We have the right to approve or
disapprove of the agreement. What do you think?"
"What do I think?" his mother said. "Sign it! Call them right
now and tell them we accept! I don't think I could stand another
one of those Canadian winters!"
