I just received some eBay scam SPAM supposedly from:

eBay Deppartament

Wow. I guess I should believe my account will be suspended for 30-days now since the source is so legit...

As much fun as it is to bag on Canada, I'm pretty sure the average level of stupidity in the US far exceeds the average level up north. Just think of the entire southern section of our fine nation.... surely it brings down the extremely high average that my intelligence solely manages to maintain.

But last time I went there, I was a bit dismayed at their inability to properly package crackers in suitable size containers. Every box was super tiny. If i wanted to buy the biggest box of Wheat Thins, and get 3.5 per box...

Yeah, I'm even worse than those Canadan's (sic!)
But English is not my mother tongue. Wait, that applies to the Canadan's (sic!) as well

What is your mother's tongue really like...it is imperative that I find out. The survival of my race depends on it.
