Old Ebenezer and Abigail lived beside a cove at Gull Lake, Alberta in Canada. It was early winter and the lower portion of the cove had frozen over.

Eb asked Abby if she would walk across the frozen part of the cove to the general store and get him some tobacco and beer.
She asked him for some money, but he told her, “Nah, just put it on our tab. Old man Stacey won’t mind.”

So Abby, being the good wife and Eb’s true love, walked across the ice, got the tobacco and beer at the store and then walked back home across the cove.

When she got home with the items she said, “Eb, you always tell me not to run up the tab at Stacey’s store. Why didn’t you just give me some money?”

Eb replied, “Well, m’dear, I didn’t want to send you out there with cash when I wasn’t sure how thick the ice was!”

Smart.

I expect he's wearin' the beer and the tobacco got kicked up his ass and set afire.

Northern people don't take chances when it comes to beer.

And kicked in the ice hole.

That's a Canadian romance novel.

It would need more hockey for that.

Stolen.

A policeman notices car, in Lovers' Lane, with the interior light brightly glowing. He carefully approaches the car to get a closer look. Then he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, filing her fingernails.
Puzzled by this surprising situation, the Officer walks to the car and gently raps on the driver's window.
The young man lowers his window. "Uh, yes, Officer?"
The trooper asks: "What are you doing?"
The young man says: "Well, Officer, I'm reading a magazine."
Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the Officer says: "And, her, what is she doing?"
The young man shrugs: "Sir, I believe she's filing her fingernails."
Now, the trooper is totally confused. A young couple, alone, in a car, at night in Lover's Lane and nothing obscene is happening!
The trooper asks: "What's your age, young man?"
The young man says: "I'm 22, sir."
The trooper asks: "And her, what's her age?"
The young man looks at his watch and replies: "She'll be 18 in 11 minutes."

Obviously a true story.
