Tim Hortons Tragedy

You know you live in Canada when....

This morning on the bus to work, we stopped and picked a guy up from the stop by Tim Hortons. He had a box full of muffins which he was struggling with, along with his bag and his bus tickets. Just as it looked like he had sorted himself out successfully and was making his way down the aisle, the box kind of sagged at one corner. There was a sharp intake of breath from the other passengers, then a collective moan as one lone chocolate muffin rolled out of the box and onto the floor. I swear the entire bus was crushed by this tragedy! Someone picked up the muffin for him and then the lady sitting next to me offered the guy her seat. Who would have thought that people that don't give a second look to a pregnant lady or elderly person, would be so moved by the tragic loss of a Tim Hortons muffin as to give up their seat? The world is a weird place.....

NOT THE CHOCOLATE MUFFIN!!!
At least it wasn't blueberry...
Who says that Canadians aren't patriotic? Perhaps we should think about changing the maple leaf on our flag to a Tim Hortons cup and a hockey stick!
