proximity to Canada

We read the Cost of Discipleship by Bonhoeffer last week for one of the classes. One of Bonhoeffer's issues is that the Church has bought into 'cheap grace'- meaning that the Christians he knew weren't transformed or suffering or giving anything up for Christ... but went on with life with a little Jesus on the side- grace that was cheap.

The professor who teaches this class is old, sometimes cranky but always funny. Yesterday Canada was the butt of a lot of jokes, with Nathan, Rachel, Shannon and I (all Canadians) taking some zingers. The best joke of the day occurred when the professor randomly drew the following graph on the white board:
This of course means that the closer you get to Canada the cheaper the grace gets.

Zing!

I also got into a bit of an argument over the fact that most Canadians don't support seal hunting. He countered by saying that most people in Europe didn't support the Nazis...I didn't think that was a fair comparison.
