Good Morning and welcome to this week’s edition of INSPIRATIONAL TIDBITS.  Many thanks to Norman for cranking out an outstanding edition last week, and keeping the consecutive-weeks-of-Tidbits-streak alive.  Since the opening bumper sticker rocked your humor world so much, we thought we’d just stay in the same mode and give you a richer, heartier sampling of those bumper adornments. Here ‘ya go.

OBSCURE EXTRA BONUS QUESTION:  On a Canadian two dollar bill, what’s weird about the flag shown flying over the Parliament? It's the US Flag

Ho, hum – yet another tiebreaker.  This time it was Phil, Norman and Roberto each getting three right.  It was PHIL who won it though, guessing 80 on the TB to Norman’s 85 and Robo’s 91.  Answers ranged from 37 to 91 today.  We had a skunk, too, and a couple of near-skunks as well.  Richard & Charley got the obscure question right, but there’s a controversy there, since it was questioned CJ & RoBo as one of those “internet legends” that everybody believes.  Further research indicates that is in fact the case – it’s a flag that looks like the US flag (it really does), but at closer inspection, it’s actually a maple leaf flag.  FISHED IN by the internet again; sorry folks.  Other answers included “upside down”, “backwards”, and “not Canadian”.  Congrats to Phil on the win – see you next week.
