QuoteOTTAWA — A small but significant slip of the tongue had Canada's industry minister pleading for "more Canadian sex stories" on Monday, although he quickly insisted he was actually talking about success.
"We need more Canadian sex stories," Tony Clement told an Ottawa crowd during a speech on the government's digital strategy.
A roar of laughter prevented him from correcting himself for a few seconds. "We need more Canadian SUCCESS stories ..." he said, pausing to emphasize the correction, "... like RIM and its world-famous — and now ubiquitous — BlackBerry."
Teased by reporters about the slip, Clement insisted he had not been thinking about sex.

Paging AndyC...
Tony Clement? He was right the first time.
Aren't "sex stories" and "success stories" the same things, anyway?

Well...while
good sex stories may well be
success stories, not all success stories are sex stories...at least, not any more than
everything is about sex. :wink:

I can't decide whether I want to hear more details or not... however, that does sound
distinctly Canadian. :bouncegiggle:
The first Canadian sex story I ever saw was the weird little thriller called The Surrogate about this couple whose love life is falling apart and they hire a sexual surrogate to sort them out. Sample lines:
Surrogate (after very rough rumpy-pumpy) "C'mon, big spender. I don't have Blue Cross." :buggedout:
Wife (at the door) "Who's there?"
Transvestite friend: "Joan *beep* Crawford!"
I'm waiting for AndyC to point out that it was the Industry Minister who said it. (The symbol of Canadian industry being a certain animal... :bouncegiggle: )
OK so I got tired of waiting. :tongueout:
Ah, I remember that magical evening when we got stranded on an ice flow while going caribou hunting with the dog sleds...(jk)
