Official wants Canadian Sex Stories

[sprite75]

OTTAWA — 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.

Do I even want to know any Canadian sex stories?

Tony Clement?  He was right the first time.

[Rev. Powell]

Aren't "sex stories" and "success stories" the same things, anyway?

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.

I can't decide whether I want to hear more details or not... however, that does sound distinctly Canadian.

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." 

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... )

OK so I got tired of waiting.
