Some Viewers May Not Share This Sense of Humor 
by Ophelia Coelridge	"How can a hour only have twenty minutes anyhow?" 

 "It's not meant to be taken literally, Ray." 

 "Huh. ... I mean, I know that the president of Canada--" 

 "Prime Minister." 

 "Right, Prime Minister of Canada isn't this Tim Horton guy, but I don't
get why it's so funny." 

 "Tim Horton's is a rather well-known chain of doughnut shops, Ray. It
once was a Canadian company, but has been bought out by Wendy's, though it
still operates under its original name, making Robin's Doughnuts the only
remaining Canadian--" 

 "Okay Frase, I get the picture. Canadians are just weird." 

 "Understood." 
  
  END	  Liner Notes for the CBC-impaired:
   This Hour Has Twenty-Two Minutes is a political satire of a news
broadcast, shown on CBC. One of my favorite segments is "Talking to
Americans," in which Rick Mercer is terribly earnest and asks Americans
terribly stupid questions (like the one involving Prime Minister Tim
Horton) to which he quite often gets terribly stupid answers. Check out
their site at  http://www.salter.com/22minutes/22hour.htm for more info.
