of hot knife slicing butter Canadas most popular farmer paid visit to Barrie Friday night to speak at dinner for members of the Georgian Bay Chartered Ac countants Association for fortyfive minutes he enter tained the audience with stories about everything from national politics to moose hunting to Kempenfester Bay Barrie may be the gateway to Parry Sound as Farqhharson claims but its also place where summer doesnt arrive until June 21 and where people are crazy enough to park car on the ice covering Kempenfester Bay and place bets on the ex act time the car will sink Ac cording to Farquharson were still waiting for the car to disappear into the water But trying to describe Farquharson monologue is like trying to fit jigsaw puz zle together With half the pieces missing you can see the individual pieces clearly enough but the overall pic ture escapes you Farquharsons routine is something like that The farmers accent the frac tured English where polarized turns into polar bearized and the PCs become Retrogressive Conser vatives the punchy one liners and blunt non sequitors even the cap and clothes Farquharson wears all come together to enhance the humor of sophisticated entertainer who uses the country bumpkin state of mind to satirize Canadian life morals and politics For example Clark wants us to pay our taxes by the quarter well 25 cents every three
