Subject: [Oh Canada] (fwd)

 A Cantonese immigrant was going for the naturalization interview to become a
Canadian.
 He did not speak English well and knew not much about Canada.
 To help him pass the interview, he "invited" a special translator to this
interview.

 The following conversation took place in the interview:

 Officer:    Do you know who the first prime minister of Canada is?
 Translator: (in Cantonese) The officer asked you, where do you usually
 go if you want to eat hamburger?
 Man:        (answered to the officer) Oh..... McDonald.

 The officer noded his head and then asked the second question.

 Officer:    Could you tell me which province you're in now?
 Translator: (again, in Cantonese) The officer just asked you, what is
 that dirty thing in your nose?
 Man:        (replied to the officer in Cantonese) Ah...... Bay Sze

 The officer noded his head again and asked the final question.

 Officer:    Do you know what your privilege is when you become Canadian?
 Translator: (in Cantonese) The officer asked you, what does dog barking
 sounds like?
 Man:        (demonstrated the sound to the officer).. Woe, Woe.

 This officer was quite satisfied and congratulated the man that he
 had passed the interview.


 Note:

 Q.1. The first prime minister of Canada is Sr. John Alexander MacDonald,
      the equivalent of George Washington of the USA.

 Q.2. This man lives in British Columbia (usually called B.C.)
      and "Bay Sze" is Cantonese for "nasal mucus" (i.e. snot).

 Q.3. One of the privilege of a Canadian is the right to vote.
