The Future of America lies in Canada’s Hands

onion_imagearticle22141.jpg

By the year 2013, every American will have a blog, using it as their one and only outlet of communication. Their tongues will wither and become frail from lack of use, as will their bodies from the constant sitting and typing. Their slender bodies will become adorned w/ jewelry, accessories, and manicured nails from the constant push of the metro-sexual lifestyle. This heightened fashion sense will make sure that no one does any physical labor for fear of staining their designer jeans or losing an earring. The need for fisherman, police officers, and steel mill workers will die almost all together to make way for the new age where everyone either works for starbucks, apple, or an internet service provider.

In 2014, the technology age will finally catch on in Canada, as they are introduced to the internet, and ultimately, wordpress. By July the first Canadian blogger is born. He will write about salmon, mountains, and timber, which will be greatly ridiculed here in America. This will anger the entire country of Canada, who, after years of dormancy, all simultaneously cry “WAR”!

By August, Canada will invade the northern parts of America, quickly laying waste to North Dakota and Massachusetts. The American defense, which consists of defending their selves by swinging their laptops, is no match for the muscular arms of massive wave upon wave of ax toting lumberjacks all in black, red, and green, or as it will come to be know as, “War Flannel”.

Entire colonies of hipsters with be destroyed by the great bearded warriors from the north. They attack the towns coffee shops first… within hours the entire town is suffering from dehydration, and in their already weakened state, the axes slice through droves of them at a time.

In DC the call for action is not falling on deaf ears. The president, Wanda Sykes, is quickly addressed of the attack but is unable to coordinate any retaliation due to her still being on set of one of her four UPN sitcoms. It’s apparent they cannot use missles, due to the all the civilian casualties that would ensue, so they look elsewhere. To God.

Millions of American’s blog to God, begging for salvation from the massive Canadian onslaught, which is now currently tearing through Ohio and Vermont. Their posts prove no use however, as God’s Comcast connection has been down for several days, even though he spoke w/ three phone Techs and two different guys came to his house.

Within two weeks all of American is in ruins. The entire American population is dead, save for a few unlucky survivors who now are forced to spend hours upon hours teaching all Canadians about Widgets, Technorati, and how to make money online.

Within days, all American land is controlled by Canada. Canadians use their newly acquired resources to stop all labor, using the pre-existing American crops to survive. Within ten years, Canada is the world’s strongest blogging nation. Their entire country floods the internet with their posts about salmon, mountains, and timber. Their lack of physical activity takes it’s toll as the Canadians become more frail by the day. Meanwhile… Mexico sits and waits….

Fed-Ex Sucks!!

After completing all the artwork needed for children’s book called “The Adventures of Bo, Mo, and Jo”, I needed to send the artwork to the publisher. This way, the book could be printed, and in the hands of the children of the world. The only problem is that the publisher was in Canada, and I’m here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

At first I didn’t think mailing something to Canada would be a problem, but I soon found out how much I was wrong. Even though Canada is CONNECTED to America, and is often referred to as “

America Jr.”, they still consider any mail going there to be foreign, and special paperwork was needed. I went to my local post office, waited in line, and after five minutes of paperwork and three dollars later, I was on my way. All I was shipping was a CD in a clear jewel case. The post office understood that. They were cool with it. Three bucks. No harm done. I was happy. That was until a week and a half later, and the CD still wasn’t in

Canada.

Now the deadline to have the artwork there was only two days away. I figured the only way to get it there on time was to go to my local Fed-Ex, and ship it overnight. Fed-Ex is one of the largest shipping companies in the world, if not the biggest. Their logo, with the hidden arrow in between the E and X is talked about often as one of the best subliminal messages in a logo ever. I’ll admit, the first time I seen the hidden arrow I nearly wrecked my car because I was flipping out. Maybe that’s why I picked Fed-Ex over UPS.. I don’t know. What I do know is that I was walking into a legal tender trap.

 

When I walked into the Fed-Ex, I waited patiently, browsing their selection of $10 Bic ink pens and wall of self motivational CDs until it was my turn. The lady was very helpful. She took my CD with artwork on, helped me fill out the paperwork to mail it “overseas”, and then it hit me with it. $45 dollars to mail the CD. I couldn’t believe it. It’s just a CD, not a bear. But, with the deadline so close, I had no other option so I paid them and went on my way. On the day of the deadline, I received a call from the publisher. They had never received the CD. Almost as soon as I hung up, I got a call from Fed-Ex. They told me they were unable to deliver the package due to customs.

 

“Ok.. So now what” I wondered. They gave me two options. They would either return the package to me for $40 or, abandon the package for $50. So basically I already paid them $45 to ship a package, which they didn’t do. Now, they want me to pay MORE money to have it sent back to me, or EVEN MORE money to destroy it. I was angry. I feel bad now, but I lost my temper with the rep on the phone. I told her I wasn’t going to give them any more of my money, and that I paid them in the first place and it’s no longer my problem. I told them to take care of it. The lady said “that’s fine” and hung up. I’m out $45, and they didn’t even ship my package.

 

This all makes sense seeing as how they are in ka-hoots with Kinkos, which is run by Lucifer, the king of darkness. Maybe some other day I’ll write about how Kinkos charged me $28 to scan a painting for me which was roughly 2 feet wide. In the end, I plan on avoiding Fex-Ex at all costs in the future, and hope that this blog will save you from getting really really pissed off at some point when you need to mail something overseas.. to Canada.
