In the immortal words of Cliff Claven: What's up with that?

One of my favourite Cheers episodes (yes I'm dating myself here) was when Cliff Claven became a stand up comedian and the only one who got his jokes, which all ended with, "What's up with that?", was Lilith Crane. That was great. So in keeping with that tradition...

I keep seeing people in pick up trucks driving around with bull balls hung at the back of their truck. What's up with that? (to qualify I am from the Shwa). I saw one guy driving around in a Dodge truck with the words, "Dodge the Father - Ram the Daughter" written on his back window. He didn't have the bull balls hanging from his truck. What's up with that?

Every time something controversial happens in Ontario, Canada (can't speak for other provinces) people cry for a public inquiry. Case in point the most recent call for one is regarding the police and the G20 summit in Toronto. During my stint as a media montior I figured out that we spends millions of taxpayers dollars on these inquiries, they put out a huge report with recommendations and then nothing is done. I think they only one, to my memory, that actually accomplished something was the blood inquiry by Krever. What up with that?

The Human Rights Tribunal in Canadian provinces. What up with that? Stop whining people and get on with your life. The cases these tribunals hear are so ridiculous that the whole process has become a mockery. What up with that?

Twenty-five years after the Air India bombing the Canadian government reveals its action plan on terrorists. Need I say more - what's up with that?

Vegetarians; vegans; people who think Star Wars is better than Star Trek; drivers who lose all sense when the first snow fall comes; people who didn't get the Canadian classic TV show Corner Gas; fans of rap; people who don't like jazz; people who are going to vote for Dalton McGuinty in Ontario again; fans of any reality TV show other than the news and Jeopardy; people who think Twilight is a good vampire series; soccer; women who are against all men's gyms but think it's okay for an all women's gym; murder trials in Canada that take years to start -------WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!!????
