Charlie Farquharson with Helpful Hints About Gittin Thru This Munth

Charlie Farquharson is a well-known (to Canadians) character played by comedian Don Harron.

Charlie wrote some interesting books when he wasn’t busy on the farm or spouting off on the CBC, including Charlie Farquharson’s Histry of Canada (listen up J., these books are required reading for all new citizens), Yer Last Decadent, Charlie Farquharson’s Unyverse, and Charlie Farquharson’s K.O.R.N. Allmynack.

I went to a thrift store today looking for items I can profitably resell on eBay and I found a copy of the Allmynack!

Like all good almanacs it has informative articles, horoscopes, weather predictions, helpful hints and ads for obscure products.

I'm going to sell it on eBay but in the meantime I'll be treating you to quotes from time to time. Maybe you better hope I sell it quick. Anyway, here’s what it says about January [Ed note: shamelessly copied without permission from Charlie Farquharson’s K.O.R.N. Allmynack.]
