[pct-l] park humor

[jmertes@verizon.net (John Mertes)]

Now that the hiking season is mostly over and we are all getting cabin fever,
here's a little humor.

Supposedly here are some of the "All Time Dumbest Questions asked by Banff Park
Tourists".... allegedly as heard at the information kiosks manned by Parks
Canada staff!

How do the elk know they're supposed to cross at the "Elk Crossing" signs?

At what elevation does an elk become a moose?

Tourist: "How do you pronounce 'Elk'?"
Park Information Staff: "'Elk'"
Tourist: "Oh"

Are the bears with collars tame?

Is there anywhere I can see the bears pose?

Is it okay to keep an open bag of bacon on the picnic table, or should I store
it in my tent?

Where can I find Alpine Flamingos?

I saw an animal on the way to Banff today. Could you tell me what it was?

Are there birds in Canada?

Did I miss the turnoff for Canada?

Where does Alberta end and Canada begin?

Do you have a map of the State of Jasper?

Is this the part of Canada that speaks French, or is that Saskatchewan

If I go to B.C., do I have to go through Ontario?

Which is the way to the Columbia rice fields?

How far is Banff from Canada?

What's the best way to see Canada in a day?

Do they search you at the B.C. border?

When we enter B.C. do we have to convert our money to British pounds?

Where can I buy a raccoon hat? ALL Canadians own one don't they?

Are there phones in Banff?

So it's eight kilometres away... is that in miles? We're on the decibel system
you know.

Is that 2 kilometres by foot or by car?

Don't you Canadians know anything?

Where do you put the animals at night?
