Americans didn't know (Joke)

    I get a kick out of things like that. Us Canadians are expected to know so much about America, but a lot of times it seems they don't know very much about us. (Not intended to offend anyone). It's kind of funny.

    Yes, they're called, uhhh, provinces. Then it gets more confusing. Five of Canada's provinces are divided into counties and the other five are split into units called divisions.

    In Mexico we have states, except they're called estados.

    And in the US, 48 of the 50 states are divided into counties. Anyone know the 2 exceptions?

    That's not too surprising. There is an entire game show displaying the ignorance of American's.
    Also on Jay Leno there used to be a segment called Jay Walking and he would ask history questions to random people. Needless to say, only the very retarded answers were aired.
    Oh yeah, there also used to be a radio show in my area that would call people in different states and ask them common sense questions about their state. I couldn't believe some of the stupid answers these people came up with. Crazy stuff!

    "there used to be a segment called Jay Walking"

    That was hilarious. I thought it was funny (or maybe pathetic) that people who said they were college students couldn't answer some of the simplest questions.

    Q. - Where did the Boston Tea Party take place?
    A. - Uhhh, was it Chicago?

    Street Smarts is another TV show that points fun at the ignorance of Americans.

    Yeah, Street Smarts that's the one. I couldn't remember the name of the show.
    I agree, it's all hilarious. Ignorance knows no limits and it certainly doesn't discriminate....lol!

    Wow, I'll be the first one to say that America is not the home to the brightest people. 58% of Americans dont know the lyrics to the national anthem (including myself lol)
