Humor Writer Taken Seriously

From last week’s Philadelphia Public Record:

Snooper “Quickie”: It seems everyone agrees with Joe Vento, of Geno’s Steaks, regarding his sign. Check this out. In Canada, TORONTO’S world famous cheesesteak shops have signs that read, “This is Canada. When ordering, SPEAK CANADIAN”. So why is Joe Vento in the wrong? This whole sign business is all ridiculous, because he is merely expressing his rights to “free speech”.

You may remember this from Johnny Goodtimes’ Metro column on Canada, which he wrote after we went up to Toronto for the Rock Paper Scissors World Championships (the event youse all thought I was joking about attending). This column also contained such lines as: “They have a dollar coin like we do, but their Sacajawea looks like a duck. Canadian dollars are known as kilodollars,” “Canada is actually about the same size as Laos” and “Canada has a dictator. His name is Chuck.”

Also enjoyable about that Record piece: “Superfluous quotes” around free speech.

Please note that everything on this blog is a joke, except for anything about noted puppy-abuser/presidential candidate Ron Paul. Those are all true.
