- La température:
"So, it's winter finally. We've had quite a bit of rain this weekend. Did you find that hard?
-What rain?
-Well you know, it's raining now.
-You call that rain? Where I come from we call that a light mist. Plus, as we don't have to shovel rain, we actually call this kind of weather spring." - Le café:
Kidding!!! Il y a un Starbucks en ville! Hallelujah! - L'hôpital:
"So where will I get my pager?
-You want a pager?
-Well, do I have to have one?
-Ah, no, don't worry about that, we have your cellphone number
**syncope vagale**
-Cellphones are allowed in the hospital?!!
-Of course!
-And people don't, you know, die?!
-Well, not from cellphones anyway..." - La station d'essence:
"Excuse me, I have this BP card, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use it or not, is that like a credit card?
-Yeah sure. Do you know the PIN?
-Ah, well, no I don't.
-Well don't worry about it. I think I know the number to this card!"
(so apparently people's PIN are common knowledge around here...) - Le centre d'information:
"So, do you know any used cars shops around here?
-Sure thing. Do you have a boyfriend?
-Uh... yeah?
-Is he big?
-Uh... what are we talking about here?
-Well if he's a big bloke you'll get a better price. I can go with you if you want."
