What do you expect from a Canadian?

OK - here's one. Did you hear about the blonde who got fired from her job working quality control at the M&M factory? She kept throwing out all the W's.

Wow...the sad thing is that many of my students would agree with you. At least at the beginning of the year - by the end of the year they know better.

I hope you know I was joking. I do know that there are at least a couple of states between South Carolina and Canada, including West Carolina.

The closest state to the border is South Ontario.

Oh absolutely...just caught me by surprise, since just yesterday I had a kid ask me why the provinces of Canada didn't count as part of the 50 states!

And the kicker is that I was actually impressed that he knew the word "provinces".

Or as it's referred to south of the 49th parallel, "Minnesota."

Interesting that all of Minnesota is north of me.

But South Ontario is actually what used to be called Western New York.

You're right, I wasn't aware of how much of Canada actually was south of Minnesota's southern border.

I was going to say North Dakota, but had to pick a state that actually bordered Ontario.

One of my favorite geography questions was: Other than the US, what country is due north of Detroit, MI? Of course, Canada. Now, what country is due south of Detroit?

No, not Minnesota, but Canada.
