The population thought their IQ was equal to the mosquitoes they had on their foreheads.
So I would guess they were all rocket scientists.
The illiteracy rate was one in four. The other three could read a 'stop sign' but ignored them. They voted for Pat Bins as in 'trash bins'. (Don't ask Pat about the protest.) That's because Islanders shop at the dump.
The entire province shares about five last names and the population looks like over fed cabbage patch dolls. If the men didn't have a female first cousin they were doomed to bachelorhood because there was a law against getting married to their own mother. Why would they need a law like that? Can't get married to their mother. Go figure. I just don't know what they were thinking of?
I mean, why would you need a law like that? Explain that one to me!
What ever it takes to keep the family on the farm I guess. One of our neighbours had four generations living in the house.
The biggest curse on the island is. 'Oh but he's only half a . . . . . . . '

Ask me why I left? I couldn't get used to all that beauty!

I'll bet you think these are jokes?
The place is infested with 'Hitchcockian Mosquitoes'. Remember 'The birds'.
Holiday there at your own peril, the natives are 'real friendly'. And don't let a little negativity get in your way.
Come one, come all, invest in Prince Edward Island, take the risk, you only live once. Bachelors, can't marry your mother, don't forget your cousins.
Be a trooper . . . buy a snorkle and.
