Nobby doesn't scare me. He's Canadian - what's he going to do, not say "Excuse me"?

And yes, I know you're also Canadian. You're the exception that proves the rule. Whereas I am the archetypal American. See? Even in the name you get no credit for sharing this continent.

You'll change your tune when the water runs out. Not to mention the oil.
We'll hold you to ransom and you'll kiss our asses like we are Saudi royalty.
And don't even think about the good bacon.

P.S. Nobby's ass is one of the handsomer ones up here.

Eh, it's a lot more likely that we'll both be seeing what we can sell to the new superpower, China. I just hope we don't follow their lead on human rights.

Oh, wait, the US already has. Never mind.

I'll, uh, take your word for that and be gracious enough to not ask the obvious question.

I just assumed it was Nobby's derriere we saw. I suppose it could have been a pic of his mother in law's. They are all furry in the land of ice and snow.

No, no, no, Scott. You've got it all wrong. Canadians are friendly and polite...that's true.

But we say "Sorry, I gotta do this" before we punch you out. And smile, while doing it.

Thanks for the offer. I don't often ride someones coat tails...but I'll make an exception this time after all your fine work.

Geez, how'd I miss this post? I have to call them about colors. I'm looking for beige / tan.
Something close to my seats and carpets.

When are you planning the order?

That reminds me of the line Quakers were known to use quite often while helping slaves escape in the Underground Railroad. While they are generally pacifists, many won't put up with much. After pointing the gun and pulling the hammer back, they might say, "Friend, thou knowest I wouldst not hurt thee for the world, but thou are standing where I am about to shoot."
