So, fairly early early one morning, I got a call about a delivery in BC...
Me: Let's see... it's 11am where I am, which would make it 8am where you are... do you get mail that early?
Caller: You actually know where where British Columbia is?
Me: Well... yeah. Doesn't everybody?
Caller: Do you know any other Canadian provinces?
And, so, the geography wonk reeled off the provinces from east to west. And then, to be particularly impressive, the territories from west to east.
Caller: You're the first American I've ever liked.
The guy wrote an actual letter to my bosses praising me. When a person called to say something nice, it a Big Event. When a person wrote a real letter, it was a Bigger Event. When a person from Canada wrote an actual letter, it was... Promotion Time!
