It never fails to amaze me what marvellous things can be found on the internet
inspired by iron's tale of Gordon Lightfoot being an air freshener
I decided to "google" for lightfoot together with freshener
and was rewarded by 2 sites each depicting a most suitable soap product
1.http://www.scentier.com/lightfoot.html
http://www.scentier.com/lightfoot.html
Lightfoot's Pure Pine Soap
Since 1890
Made in England


2. http://www.bonsavon.com/merchant2/me...Code=010-00050
Lightfoot's Pure Pine Soap


not only that but it unearthed a great joke site with some nice
home-spun Canadian jokes at:-

http://home.swipnet.se/~w-72891/Cana...s/oldjoke.html
Do scroll down to:-
"On the 6th day" which is actually a variation of the old joke about when god created Scotland
the section on "cultural differences" is very apt
especially:-
"Americans: Drink weak, pissy-tasting beer.
Canadians: Drink strong, pissy-tasting beer.
Brits: Drink warm, beery-tasting piss.
Aussies: Drink anything with alcohol in it
and one section
being rude about Newfies and the "pepsis" in Quebec :-
"This is not politically correct, but c'est la vie..."
Also do not miss:-
"Canadian Complaints About Americans"
As presented on the 04/09/97 broadcast of LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN
especially:-
1. Not enough guys named "Gordie"
5. They call it American cheese, even though it was invented by Canadian superstar Gordon Lightfoot
8. Every time we mention the city "Regina," they won't stop giggling
