Banff Tourists All time dumbest questions asked by Banff Park Tourists. Yes, they're all true as heard at the information kiosks manned by Parks Canada Staff!

1. How do the elk know they're supposed to cross at the 'Elk Crossing'
signs?

2. At what elevation does an elk become a moose?

3. Tourist: 'How do you pronounce 'Elk'?' Park Information Staff: 'Elk'
Tourist: 'Oh'

4. Are the bears with collars tame?

5. Is it okay to keep an open bag of bacon on the picnic table, or should I
store it in my tent?

6. Is there anywhere I can see the bears pose?

7. Where can I find Alpine Flamingos?

8. I saw an animal on the way to Banff today -Could you tell me what it was?

9. Are there birds in Canada?

10. Did I miss the turnoff for Canada?

11.Where does Alberta end and Canada begin?

12. Do you have a map of the State of Jasper?

13. Is this the part of Canada that speaks French, or is that Saskatchewan?

14. If I go to B.C., do I have to go through Ontario?

15.Which is the way to the Columbia Ricefields?

16. How far is Banff from Canada?

17. What's the best way to see Canada in a day?

18. Do they search you at the B.C. border?

19. When we enter B.C., do we have to convert our money to British pounds?

20. Where can I buy a raccoon hat? All Canadians own one, don't they?

21. Are there phones in Banff?

22. So it's eight kilometers away.....is that in miles?

23. We're on the decibel system you know.

24. Where can I get my husband really, really lost?

24. Is that two kilometers by foot or by car?

25. Don't you Canadians know anything?

26. Where do you put the animals at night?

27. Tourist: 'How do you get your lakes so blue?' Park Staff: 'We take the
water out in the winter and paint the bottom.' Tourist: 'Ohhhhh!'

I'm at a camp in Maine right now, and there are 4 other Canadians here. We played a Can-Am hockey game, and we won 22-3. We didnt even have any subs, we were on the whole entire time. AHAHAHA.
But the funny thing is that we have the whole camp thinking we are on a 20 hour clock in Canada. We call it 'metric time'. AHAHAH dumb yanks... We also dont know touch-tone phones. We preteneded we had never seen fire-works before on the 4th of July, and we pretened we frive snowmobiles on our roads instead of cars. They also think we live in coal heated houses and buildings. Its so funny! I love messing with Americans.

An Ontarian wanted to become a Newfie (ie. a Newfoundlander). He went to

a neurosurgeon and asked 'Is there anything you can do to me that would

make me into a Newfie?'

'Sure, it's easy.' replied the neurosurgeon. 'All I have to do is cut

out 1/3 of your brain, and you'll be a Newfie.' The Ontarian was very

pleased, and immediately underwent the operation. However, the surgeon's

knife slipped, and instead of cutting out 1/3 of the patient's brain,

the surgeon accidentally cut out 2/3 of the patient's brain. He was

terribly remorseful, and waited impatiently beside the patient's bed as

the patient recovered from the anesthetic. As soon as the patient was

conscious, the nurosurgeon said to him 'I'm terribly sorry, but there

was a ghastly accident.

Instead of cutting out 1/3 of your brain, I accidentally cut out 2/3 of

your brain.'

The patient replied 'Qu'est-ce que vous avez dit, monsieur?'

funny thing is americans are probably doing the same thing now, there is probably a us based ski site with a bunch of americans sitting here making fun of canadian jokes, and there is probably someone like me pointing that very fact out...ok im scared now

the banff stuff is funny and I know it's true because you get an appreciation for how ignorant some americans are working in Whistler all winter. It's funny in a way but it's also very pathetic.

hahah, those are great. I lived in banff for a year and you see the funniest shit there. The japanese are almost as funny as the americans. I saw a jap walk out of a store dressed completly like a cowboy, chaps and everything. He asked me a how to get to his hotel and said 'eh' at the end, trying to act canadian.

Also, while i was there, an american woman wanted to get a picture of her child riding an elk...so she tried putting her kid on the elks back, luckily everyone freaked out on her before she got her kid killed.

Not so lucky was the woman who wanted to get a picture of a bear licking her kid's hand. She spread HONEY all over his hand and arm (the kid was 6) and then was SHOCKED when the bear bit the kids arm off.

stupid stupid stupid.

i got tons of stupid american stories. a teacher of mine was down at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto when this American family came in (at like around noon or so) and asked what time the place closed. he told them 5pm. they go 'oh, great... we're going to drive up to winnapeg and visit some relatives than come back later today' (for those americans that don't understand their stupidity - winnapag is a 2 day drive from Toronto)

And another one - my mom's bf was working at a grocery store (way back in the day) in Brampton and one mid-summer afternoon this american couple come into the store and ask him 'where to go for the skiing' and outside he saw their car with the skis on the roof rack. not sure what to say he just told them to go north of the 400 and keep going till you see the hills. oh man.

23. We're on the decibel system you know.

I was unaware that Canadians measured things in sound....

'Your total comes to 100 decibels.'
'AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!'
'thanks, have a great day.'
