So... there's the crazy, crazy old man who comes in often and will corner an associate (sometimes a customer) and talk to them for quite a while (like an hour or more) about all kinds of crazy things.

He's stopped me on more than one occasion and talked about such great things like how the British own all of the water in the United States.

Well, he stopped me again today when I was about to go to lunch. After answering his questions about Digital Converter Boxes, he attempted to, again, surprise me with his knowledge of how the British own all the water in the United States.

When he asked if I knew who owns all the water in the US, I replied "The British, of course!". "How'd you know that?!?" "I read it on the internet."

He then asked if I knew who owned Washington D.C. - "The French!". "No, the British own that as well." "No, really, it's the French, look it up!"

Thankfully, another associate was able to save me...

gah...

I thought we were gonna make Britain a state but they joined the EU first. UB, your vast knowledge never ceases to amaze me.

I keep telling people your town is proof inbreeding is bad. But then I hear stories of Louisiana...

My fiancee is British. She denies that they own all the water in the United States.

She is obviously just lying - trying to trick us unsuspecting USians until her and her British comrades decide to come and take all our water.

We would give you all your water back, but we're already committed to make vast quantities of tea using it. Stick that in Boston Harbour and smoke it!

We all know Washington DC was owned by Canada. In 1814, during the war of 1812, (Americans can't even date their wars properly) Canadians marched to Washington DC and burned a lot of it down including the White House.

Owned.

By that logic we own Toronto.

Wait...we've already got a space needle. Nevermind, keep it.

Didn't Toronto become Racoon City a few years ago after a SARS outbreak?

I don't know if this would stand up in court, but if Douglas Adams rose from the dead and showed up at my house I'd let him have as much of my water water he wanted.

You do know that a scene for Resident Evil, the movie, was shot here in Toronto. All I know is that they were filming on a bridge for a scene in the movie where they were escaping from racoon city.

Are you talking about the CN Tower? It's the highest free standing obstacle in the universe. Beat that you space bot.

We've got the Seattle Space Needle. It's not the biggest, because we're not compensating for something.

You're thinking of Alabama.

I don't think Patrick Stewart OR Jean-Luc Picard ever said "FTW."

P.S. - "Eart Grey FTW." = QFT
