As for Canadian humor: Years ago I was shooting a story for Cessna about Caravan operators. There was a small airline run by a Native Tribe that made great use of Caravans. We were visiting a village up north . . . way up north. They didn't have a hanger at this location and had to park the plane that was based there outside. During the winter they would cover the airplane's cowling with a tarp and build a fire underneath to keep the engine warm. This is a two million dollar airplane. The mechanic there told us, "you people from down south don't know what it's like to operate an airplane up here." Our Canadian host took us aside and said, "when he says 'down south' he doesn't mean Wichita, he means Thunder Bay. We had a good laugh.
