Fact #1:
This Canuck grew up in Saskatchewan where there is at least four feet of snowfall every year.
Fact #2:
The Yank grew up in the American south and had not seen snow until his 25th year.
Fact #3:The
Ski-Doo is a Canadian invention.
The Story:
As most anecdotes begin, there I was photoshopping a Ski-Doo into a photo-chop picture of a polar bear who was clad in a plaid lumberjack jacket and wearing a beaver hat, while toting a taxidermy raccoon in his right mittened paw, and holding a bottle of Quebec maple syrup in his left.
Needless to say, there was nothing unusual about the situation.
At that point, the Yank walks past and reads the label on the snowmobile.
"Skee-du," sayeth the Yank.
"Skid-du," the Canuck correcteth him.
"Nuh-uh," respondeth the Yank. "It is pronounced 'Skee-du'".
The "I've Got a Case of the Mondays" Poll:
How do you pronounce "Ski-doo"?
