Quebec City

Dad: "Want to stop at Quebec City for lunch?"
Me: "I'll go anywhere the French got their asses handed to them by the English."
Dad: "Fair enough."

Wiffs of grapeshot

Me:
"Here's a question for you that mom and I were debating this weekend:

If there was a revolt against the queen (you know, 17th century Cromwellian style) today, and the army were ordered to go out and quash the rebellion, would you follow orders? Even if it meant firing on fellow Canadians?

Mom said no one in the army would follow that order. I said you all would for two reasons: 1- it's an order and if you didn't you'd be subject to court-martial and treason charges, and 2- you've taken an oath to protect the queen.

Thoughts?"

Dad:
"Hard question and not enough time to answer it completely.

Short answer, a revolt against the Queen, also known as the Government of Canada, and the CF was supporting the government, yes, follow orders and do whats necessary.

A seccession of a province, after a majority vote, no, I would not support a trampling of a peaceful separation. No Balkans here!

A seccession of a province, without a majority vote, whatever necessary to protect the rights of Canadians.

Now a question for you. Did you check out the converter/plug adapter you have?"

Costumes!

Me: "You should bring more luggage - how else are you going to get the leiderhossen I'm making you buy home?"
Dad: "I'm gonna wear it on the plane, how else?"

Peacocks

Me: "If I win the lotto, can I buy you a peacock?"
Dad: "No. No more pets."
Me: "Dude, it's a wild animal, not a pet."
Dad: "Well, pardon my ignorance. In that case, no."

Rational

My dad's a cut up. The non-sequiters we come up with are hilarious. I just want to have a place to go back and look over our laughs together.

Enjoy!
