Post. Please.

Okay. Though maybe it’s not that funny. I think I laughed more because it came with the subject line “Immigration Increase” and when I opened it I was expecting some wingy anti-immigrant rant. It does mention curling though and anything with curling it…. :)

Anyways….

Canada Reports Huge Jump in Immigration
Over 55,000,000 Requests for Citizenship Since Tuesday Night

OTTAWA (The Borowitz Report) - Canadian immigration officials have reported a huge increase in the number of requests for Canadian citizenship in the past twenty-four hours, with over fifty-five million such inquiries pouring in since late Tuesday night.

Of those fifty-five million requests, well over 99.99% of them came from
U.S. citizens, with a particularly large number coming from residents of
Florida and Kentucky.

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon said that he was
“flabbergasted” by the fifty-five-million-plus requests for Canadian
citizenship, adding that it was difficult to pinpoint the precise reasons
for the staggering increase.

“My only theory is that after the 2010 winter Olympics, the sport of curling
is finally starting to catch on,” he said.

He cautioned, however, that it is impossible to know exactly what is
sparking the sudden interest in America’s frozen neighbor to the north:
“People answering our immigration hotline say that it is hard to understand many of the American callers because they are sobbing uncontrollably.”
