Travel Humour....
Two tourists from the United States were driving through Nova Scotia. As
they were approaching Tatamagouche, they started arguing about he pronunciation of the name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the employee, "Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are...very slowly?" The blonde leaned over the counter and said ..., "Burrr....gerrrr....Kiiiing" |

Could it be to make easier for visitors that some area in Nova Scotia use
the same name for every place? They have a bay called Pubnico and places around it are named by it. From Pubnico Point, you go to Lower West Pubnico, on to Middle West Pubnico, then West Pubnico, which will lead you to Upper West Pubnico, then to Pubnico. You think you visited them all? No way. Keep driving, you will see East Pubnico, Middle East Pubnico, Centre East Pubnico and Lower East Pubnico. If you don't have enough yet, you can always visit the Great Pubnico lake via the Great Pubnico Lake Road.

You can find that in a lot of places...thing is, total population of ALL of the Pubnico's is less than a 1000 ! |

While he's here, his dad is doing the hunting. We had quite the lively debate last night about hunting in general - other friends from Michigan, Virginia and New Jersey spoke of being overrun by deer. I did meet a guy from the Canadian Air Force - you guys have planes, too!!! Chris |
