To promote the Canadian Football League (yes, for you skeptics in the US - the CFL is alive and well) Western Division Semi-final between the Calgary Stampeders and the Edmonton Eskimos on Sunday, CBC radio is running a joke contest between the two cities. Here are two sample entries.
#1
Welcome to the National Pronunciation Contest. First contestant is 12 year old Judy
Judge - Judy your word is C-a-l-g-a-r-y (saying each letter, but not the word)
Judy - Cal GARY
Judge - repeat
Judy - Cal GARY
Judge - wrong! Correct pronunciation for Calgary is DUMB!
Judy - I don't hear any difference between Cal GARY and DUMB!

Why do all the trees in Calgary lean toward the north?
I don't know, why do all the trees in Calgary lean toward the north?
BECAUSE EDMONTON SUCKS!

HA! HA! HA! Here's Craig's contribution--'Two Calgarians were out hunting. It started getting dark and they discovered they were lost. One Calgarian turned to the other and said 'I heard if you fire 3 shots in the air it's a distress signal.' So he fired 3 shots in the air. They waited an hour and no one came, so the one Calgarian turned to the other and said 'fire 3 more times' Second Calgarian said 'I can't, I've only got two more arrows!'
Those Calgarians sure are dumb!
Here's another one--'Two Calgarians were out hunting. They bagged their elk and started pulling it towards their truck. It was very hard since they were pulling from the scruff on the hind quarters. An Edmontonain came by and ask how it was going. The Calgarians said it was going tough, since they were going against the nap of the fur and the antlers were catching on all the branches. The Edmontonain said 'You dummies, why don't you pull it by the antlers?' The Calgarians thought that was a great idea and started to do it. After 15 minutes the one Calgarian turned to the other and said 'wow, this is so much better!' The other Calgarian said 'Yea, isn't it? Too bad we're getting further away from the truck!'
And my favorite--'What's a Calgarians best form of birth control? Their personality!'
O.K. enough of that --we really love Calgary---NOT!
One Edmontonian to another. "I'm not sure I going to put on snow tires this winter."
2nd Edmontonian, "Why not, the winters get rather rough up here in Edmonton."
1st Edmontonian. "I know, but last year, come the first warm spell the tires melted!"
For you Edmontonians call me and Ill explain it to you
Well I don't know who would win the joke contest but it's a shame that Edmonton lost :(
