Emily Litella: What’s all this fuss I hear about Canada being a big country with not much copulation? It’s terrible!! Canadian people have enough problems as it is without someone saying, “You don’t copulate enough.” I know I myself occasionally have difficulty with copulation. Just because a woman’s over 40 doesn’t mean she can’t get hot! It just takes a little longer; but that doesn’t mean I want someone to criticize me for it. And what do they do to Canadians, anyway? Shout nasty things at them behind their back like “Slow Copulators!” You mark my words: If we start being mean to Canadians, they’ll start being impolite! They’ll stop making that maple syrup I like on my pancakes. Leave the Canadians alone. Let them copulate just as slowly as they want!
John Patterson: I’m sorry, Miss Litella. That’s population, not copulation. Population.
Emily Litella: What?
John Patterson: Elizabeth’s essay was about the low population in Canada, not the low copulation. Population.

Emily Litella: Oh. Well, that’s very different.
John Patterson: Yes.
Emily Litella:Never mind!
