\nIn a train car there were a Canadian, an American, a spectacular-looking blonde, and a frightfully awful-looking, fat lady.<\/p>\n

After several minutes of the trip, the train happens to pass through a dark tunnel and the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard. When they leave the tunnel, the American had a big red slap mark on his cheek.<\/p>\n

  4. The Canadian thought:<\/b> “I hope there is another tunnel soon so I can smack that stupid American again.”<\/li>\n
