But if you drop your sub-machine gun, a passer-by picks it up for you
Some concurrent headlines don't add up. Like "Head injuries on decline in Okanagan" along side "Stockwell Day wins by landslide".
Today, I'm having trouble reconciling "T.O. third most polite city in the world: survey" with "One man dead after shootings continue in T.O.".
Hmm. Guess the folks at Reader's Digest didn't consider 'tendancy to not riddle fellow citizens with hot lead' as a valid measure of politeness.
Or maybe it's all about whether you say "my bad" afterwards?

could we call this 'humour in non-uniformity', 'media says the darndest things', or 'strife's like that'?
thought i'd look up reader's digest online for you
RD. they have a courtesy quiz. i started it but was close to barfing by question #4.
T.O., just like any large city, might have some crime but I think that compared to other large cities, Toronto is quite disciplined. Adding the fact that Canadians have a good reputation of being nice and it’s not surprising that T.O. is the third most polite city in the world (amongst large cities only I guess?).
But I think that people are much politer and friendlier in smaller cities.
Whoah, kids. Who said you could actually have a serious (albeit polite) discussion here? Please, more nonsensical potty talk and gratutious lewdness. Thanks.
Yer funny mate! Too bad we can't see your cute mug under that hand.
Thanks, apteryx. I think you are my first Kiwi commenter. I was sorta hoping it'd be Nicky Watson. But you'll do.
About my mug... you do know that I lost my nose in a coffee-grinder accident, don't you? My wife tries to get me to wear a prosthetic, but I think it's just becuase she's embarrassed we go out in public during hayfever season.
cheezwhiz. Why thank you, kind soul. How polite of you, not to mention observant.
coffee grinder? i read in the globe and mail it was caused by attempting to sniff an overhead fan. sheesh! just stick some silly putty on when you go out in public....that way you'll have the option of changing your prosthetic to meet your mood.
for instance , are you having a 'jimmy durante day', or an 'alfred e. numan night'?
The sad truth is, you can walk past 999 polite people in a day, but it's the 1 rude person you remember. Or, in this case, the one gun toting crazy you remember.
Too true, James. But I guess I'm not helping matters by reminding folks about the alleged gun toting crazies (and the gun toting cops that not-so-allegedly shoot them). Did I say my bad yet?
