Cricket pants and Mr Canoehead

I went camping this weekend. I haven't laughed like that in a long time. It was fantastic.

Upon hearing the sound of a "cigale", I asked Micah, what we call the insect in English. "I don't know" he replied, "I didn't even know an insect made that sound"

"Yeah, and you know how?"

"No"

"Well...they rub their legs together and it makes the sound. It allows them to sing."

"So...what you're saying is; all we'd have to do is make pants for them and they would stop?"

And of course, camping always brings out the best of Canadian comedy. I'd never even heard of Mr Canoehead.
