Three frogs are sitting in a pond.
The first frog goes "ribbip".
The second frog goes "ribbip".
The third frog goes "ribbip, ribbip".
The first frog pulls out his gun and shoots the third frog.
The second frog asks, " Why did you shoot him?"
The first frog answers, " He knew too much".
Communist era joke.
Hungarians have a dry sense of humor.

I see the natiomalism, but where is the racism?! As far as I know the
quebecois has no problem with anyone's race as far as he/she is francophon
(for example haitians). Also their economical problem has nothing to
do with the nationalism itself. Their problem is that they are minority
in North America and they are behaving like an agressive majority. Their
language laws and police would work perfectly and would cause no economical
problem if the anglophone part of Canada would introduce them (ie. only
English, please). They would be probably more succesful if they accepted
the reality and would be more diplomatic and 'sneaky' (like we don't force
you to send your children to a French school but 'unfortunatelly' there is
no English school 'available').

There are hardly any non-Franphones in the Quebec civil service and the
police force. The Haitians are not there either. Bilingual anglophones
cannot find jobs and there are isntances of discrimination in hiring
against them. They are leaving in droves. You can post Hungarian signs
without French text but you cannot post an English sign. Political
uncertainty causes decline of investment in the province. An independent
Quebec would probably have to renegotiate NAFTA and other international
trade agreements. The trade unions are very agressive here.
The Quebec government does not believe in bilingualism in the rest of
Canada and does not support Francophone communities outside Quebec.

Greetings to all:
Second that motion! But...since I can't find the book of jokes as of yet, I
thought that this might be of some interest in the meantime. A favourite
and frequently used statement by my grandmother. I don't know it's origin,
perhaps someone out there might; if so, please share. (I find it as
brilliant as is confusing):
"E'letem egy ke'prege'ny, festette ma's, e's e'lem e'n"
Any thoughts on accurately translating and solving this "simple little"
puzzle? Thanks!
Regards,
Aniko
