Scotch and ice in an Air Canada tumbler

What a marvelous country we live in. People, those south of us have really no clue we're here. I'm a transplant, so I know. They have no idea what Canada is. To them, it really is beavers and mounties and eh? and beer. It's like they know that Canada is across the um . . . Montana border?

I'm American. But some asshole from California came up here the other week and swore up and down that I said "Aboot" and "Oot" like a Canadian. You asshole. It takes a lifetime of being Canadian to do that. Like I'm some maple puppet that jumps up and down in front of tourists and says Aboot. This provincial clown hailed from Pleasanton. Ever heard of Pleasanton? It's down there with the migrant farm workers and the angry grapes and the mice and men and that stupid orange bridge.
