I don't make the rules: Greatest Canadian Invention

What is the single greatest Canadian invention?

Basketball? Pacemaker? Insulin? Kerosene? Standard time? Telephone? Zipper? Alkaline batteries? Blackberry? Electron microscope? Java? light bulb? Wonderbra? No!

While these are all fine inventions, there is one you're overlooking. One that could ONLY have been invented by Canada. I'm talking, of course, about Pulling the Jersey, or simply Jerseying.

Let me describe what this is to our non-Canadian friends. When you're in a fight with a Canadian, they might reach overtop your head and grab your sweater along your upper back. Then, they pull it towards them, over your head. This simple act results in your arms being helplessly straightened upwards by your own sweater. At this point the Canadian is free to "feed" you (punches to the face) until you go down.

Like many great Canadian inventions, like plexiglass, radio and the goalie mask, it was made for hockey. Which, ironically, we didn't invent. While many other countries play hockey, none of them consider fighting such an important part of the game, therefore no one would have invented this had Canadians not.

Inventions like Jerseying make me proud to be Canadian. It's a testament to our creative ingenuity and how we think outside the box.

Afterword:

One time I was bragging to some European guy about our great inventions:
Me: Jacques Plante invented the goalie mask.
European: Oh yeah? When was that?
Me: 1959.
European: What year did Canadians first play hockey?
Me: Oh it goes way back to the mid-19th century.
European: So it took you Canadians 100 years to figure out that the guy getting pucks shot at his head should protect his face?
Me: Uh... yeah.
European: Wow. You should be so proud.
