TOP REASONS TO LIVE IN QUEBEC
1. Racism is socially acceptable.
2. You can take bets with your friends on which English neighbor will move out next.
3. Other provinces basically bribe you to stay in Canada.
4. You can blame all your problems on the "Anglo A*#!%!"

Lol I thought jambo was a Floridan himself.

..Well one can argue Quebec has an actual backbone and that they're not afraid to speak their mind; as opposed to the rest of Canada where PC'ness must be first priority in every situation.

Half of Quebec winters in Florida so there isn't much of a difference :-)

I thought that was Tennessee, where locals are said to marry within their families (which would explain the DNA part, although DNA is not the same, it does indicate a family relation).

The teeth part (i.e., people not taking care of their teeth, missing them, which would explain the difficult task of obtaining reliable dental records) is normally associated with poor whites in the south, not necessarily Florida, where a large number of people are from other states actually.

What was the name of that Simpson's character? Cletus? That would be the stereotype.

Yeah it's safe to assume the TPT stereotype of Florida is long gone now. It's more cosmopolitan and international when comparing to the other true hick states of the south. The joke was geared towards the OP though, whom happens to be from Florida.

Heard in Florida:

How do guys in Tennessee pick up chicks?








They go to a family reunion.

(I think it's a spin off of a Larry The Cable Guy routine, he himself being from Alabama)
