A to Z Honesty - D is for Dildoes


Last night on Facebook my glamourous friend GP Ching pointed out a news story that sez Canada is the fifth happiest country in the world. Are Canadians happier, she asked, than her fellow Americans, who ranked 11th in the poll?

Well, YEAH.

First of all, we're up higher. The altitude mollifies our brains so we're all kinda drugged all the time, like hikers on Mount Everest. It's hard to be unhappy when you're high. (Not that I would know, kids.)

It's also frigging cold in Canada. You ever seen a frog when it's cold? Or a fish? They're, like, stunned. That's how Canadians are when they venture out of their igloos. Stunned. It's hard to be unhappy when you can't form a coherent thought due to your brain cells' chilly resemblance to Sara Lee cheesecake.

We're lovers, not fighters. We don't have guns in our bedside tables – we have dildoes and lube. We like to fornicate. A lot. It's the only thing that keeps us warm when it's 40 below.

Nobody holds a grudge in Canada because we're always apologizing so damned much. It's like, "oh, sorry I just rear-ended your new car," and "that's ok, I forgive you," and "call me sometime and I'll apologize for boinking your wife," and "good idea – it'll give me a chance to apologize for the punch I'm going to deliver to your fornicating FACE." 

Which is why I'm sometimes so freaking happy that my face hurts.

  2. Um, also, considering what your post said...I'm looking at a photo of Dave over there that says, "Happiest When Wet." Should I be reading anything into that?

    1. Undesirable traffic? That's like bad publicity! Non-existant! Besides I'm redirecting all of it to Conversations At Land's Edge, care of the Silver Fox.Com... My treat for you! Enjoy!

    You did forget to mention that Canadians will apologize to the post they run into, too. We are a funny lot - not so frozen over on this coast, though. Usually.

    1. Stephanie, I was TOTALLY going to mention apologizing to a post! I do that EVERY SINGLE DAY. I also apologize to my chair, my desk, walls, trees – once I apologized to a lady's purse!

    2. Nah, on the west coast it's not the cold that affects your brain cells, it's all the fresh, sea air blowing through yer Birkenstocks!

  19. Re the dogs in the photo, I just love the expression on the face of the non-smiling one. "What do you think's so funny 'Mr. your rear end's frozen to the ground'?"

    As to what you've got in your drawers, Ms. Cathy, I'm stayin' out of it...

    Happy Wednesday - and thanks for making mine so much fun!

  22. I often wish I had landed in Canada instead of the US all those years ago. But I'm here now and have to make the best of it. Now that I know what I need to keep by my bedside that should be a bit easier. I lived in London when I was young and I still say "sorry" for the slightest little thing. Americans have no idea why I do that.

  23. You just totally cracked me up! You are a treasure!

    I love you! xoxox!!!

  25. I want to say something smart, but I can't think of anything because I am laughing so much! ^__^

  26. LMAO! OK, don't think I'm weird. Well, I am, but I just don't want you to think it quite yet. I was on another blog and I went to follow it and saw your picture, thought, awe, she looks like a happy person, I wonder what her blog is about. It is about dildos and fornication. You and I are going to be great friends!

    BTW, your dogs are beautiful!

  27. Oh I loved this one! Very comical! Go dildos!

  31. As long as he doesn't smack him in the face with the dildo.
    By the way, I thought "dildo" was what you use to make biscuits out of pickles.
    I have so much to learn.
