In one particular act a comedian was making an affectionate mockery of the great Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The punch lines took aim at – what else – Saskatchewan’s flatness. Now somewhere midway through my first beer the comedian talked about ways in which he could help increase tourism in Saskatchewan by coming up with new more catchy/trendy license plate slogans that adorn the province’s cars.
