People often wonder why so many successful comedians are Canadian?
I believe, as a nation, we are far more able to laugh at ourselves, than perhaps our neighbors, the Americans?

So, here is my joke for the week, a bit of Canadian self-depreciative humor! :p


-----------------------------------------------------


CLASSIC VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and fiddles the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

CANADIAN POST-MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and fiddles the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate like him are cold and starving. CBC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper; with cuts to a video of the ant in his comfortable warm home with a table laden with food.

Canadians are stunned that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty. The NDP, the CAW and the Coalition Against Poverty demonstrate in front of the ant's house. The CBC, interrupting an Inuit cultural festival special from Nunavut with breaking news, broadcasts them singing "We Shall Overcome." Svend Robinson rants in an interview with Pamela Wallin that the ant has gotten rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share." In response to polls, the Liberal government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti-Discrimination Act (EEGAD), retroactive to the beginning of summer.

The ant's taxes are reassessed and he is also fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as helpers. Without enough money to pay both the fine and his newly-imposed retroactive taxes, the government confiscates his home. The ant moves to the U.S. and starts a successful agribiz company.

The CBC later shows the now-fat grasshopper finishing up the last of the ant's food though spring is still months away, while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he hadn't maintained it.

Inadequate government funding is blamed, Roy Romanow is appointed to head a commission of enquiry that will cost $10 million. The grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose, and the Toronto Sun blames it on obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity.
