Quebecers believe I'm French Canadian

[betplom]

I was in Gatineau, QC, Saturday and I stopped in at a Tim Hortons for a coffee.

The girl behind the counter starts talking to me in bastardized French and I'm like "what the fuck?" I don't understand so I speak in Canada's official language - English and she responded in broken English to take my order.

That wouldn't normally be enough to convince me, but on my way back to Toronto I stopped at a gas station near Kingston, Ontario to get fuel and the car in front of me at the pump had Quebec license plate, the woman gets out of her car and asked me something in bastardized French and I reminded her that she was in Canada now and that we speak English in Canada.

I was mistaken for a French Canadian twice in one day! What the fuck?

You mean with a name like BetPluemme your not french? Shocking.

 

[Deuce]

French, lol

 

[Matty]

The horror.

I don't see it. It's often very easy to distinguish French Canadians from Anglos, but I don't think that anything about your face says Frenchie. Hope you slapped the bitches.

20four7, obviously the drugs are wearing off you in a negative way. I like you better when you're high.

Talking about high, good luck with your horse today, hopefully Montini can get your steed high enough to win the race.

Montini reminds me of some of these people:
Bill Robinson, Doug Berkeley, Peter Marostega, Marty Fine, Kevin McMaster, Len Lalonde, Cal Campbell etc.

Montini was most impressive when he claimed that $4500 nag from Windsor and it paced a 1:51 mile on the big circuit here a few years ago.

Too long, Rogatien. Cheap flights can be had.

(5-6 hours)
