Here's a couple of Canadian sayings that I think are weird especally this one:

 

Your friend calls you on the phone asks what your doing.

The reply in a lot of rural Canadian towns is

"Oh, I'm f*#king a dog." which means I' doing nothing.

 

And out in the praire towns of you ask for directions to the next town a lot of the times the answer you get is "well a far as the crow flies...."

The phrase "F**king the dog" is usually used at the workplace, not at home. Typically it's used for lazy people at work, as in "Liban's such a dogf**er, I don't know how he keeps his job."

But I've never heard the "as far as the crow flies" phrase before in my life.

Obviously you have never been to rural Saskatchewan then.

I have no reason to be in rural Saskatchewan. What the hell were you doing there?

[Baluug]

I can think of better places to work.

 

So who exactly is Ha Hero, and why are you his madam?
