11. In the war of 1812, started by America, Canadianspushed the Americans back...past their 'White House'. Then we burned it and most of Washington, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie who was insane and hammered all the time. We got bored because they ran away, so we came home and partied ... Go figure...
