Hopefully these won't cross the line....
A Canadian, an American and a Pole are all lost in the Sahara and are granted one personal item.
The Canadian asks for a pair of skis - "So when I get to the top of a sand dune, I can ski down - I'll get out of the desert faster."
The American asks for a surfboard -"So when I get to the top of a sand dune, I can surf down - I'll get out of the desert faster too."
The Pole asks for a car door - "So if it gets too hot, I can roll down the window."

- I've heard this one with several different ethnic groups:
A Canadian, an East Indian and a Chinese man are all involved in a terrible car accident and are sent to heaven where they meet St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter tells them "Look, guys, to be honest, we're a little full right now. So, if you each give me $500, I'll let you go back to earth and live."
Back at the accident scene, one of the investigating officers is stunned when the Canadian suddenly comes back to life. The Canadian explains what happened at the entrance to heaven, and how he handed over his $500, to which the officer asks "but where are the other two?"
"Well, when I left the Chinese guy had managed to talk St. Peter down to $350 and the East Indian guy was trying to get the insurance company to cover it."

- A Newfie joke (for the benefit of non-Canadians, people from Newfoundland are the but of many "stupid" jokes in Canada)
A Newfie is going about to move from Newfoundland to Ontario, but he doesn't want anyone to know he's from Newfoundland because of his accent. So, he practices a supermarket routine saying I'd like a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a litre of milk in his best non-Newfie accent.
For weeks he practices this phrase over and over again before he moves. Finally, the big day arrives, he moves, and has to go out to get some provisions. He walks into the store and says "I'd like a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs and a litre of milk". Bang! Nails it! No accent at all.
"You're from Newfoundland, aren't you?" replies the clerk.
"But, how did you know?" says the Newfie incredulously. "There wasn't a hint of an accent in my voice!"
"I know," says the clerk, "but you're in a hardware store".
