Apparently the Prime Minister took a little detour down to a small outport with Senator Fabian Manning yesterday. They flew into the community in a float plane. When the PM exited the plan he slipped on a pontoon and tumbled into the salt water.
A couple of kids that were playing on the wharf saw someone fall in and dove in to retrieve him. Once he was safely ashore he thanked the boys and said so you know who I am. Neither did. Well he said, I am Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada. You are owed a debt of gratitude by the nation.
He asks the first kid what he would like. The young fella looks at him and says, Sir a brand new red 24 gear Mountain Bike. Harper looks at his assistant and says get that boy his bike, but get it in blue!
He turns to the second boy and asks him what he would like for his heroic actions. The boy quickly says, I wants a quad. The PM directs aid to get him a quad and a helmet.
Turning to the last boy, who was little shy, he says son, what can I do for you. The boys says very quietly, "I needs a casket."
The Prime Minister, says " Did I hear you right son. Good god the economy is not so bad here is it?"
The boy responded, "No sir but when my father finds out that I saved you, I am as good as dead!"
