Scotland And Canada, Northern Brothers In Arms
(A coworker and I are in Houston, Texas for a training course. He’s from Scotland; I’m from England. As we have weekends off, we decide to drive down to Galveston and have a look round. After a short drive round, we spot the aquarium and decide to pay it a visit. It is very quiet, so there is only one member of staff on the ticket desk.)
Ticket Lady: “Welcome to the aquarium. How are y’all doing today?”
Me: “Fine, thanks. One adult, please.”
Ticket Lady: “No problem. Just for our records, where are you from?”
Me: “England.”
(She thanks me and gives me my ticket after I pay.)
Coworker: “An adult ticket for me, as well, please.”
Ticket Lady: “Okay, and where are you from?”
Coworker: “Scotland.”
Ticket Lady: “Oh, that’s the same thing.”
Coworker: “Really? What part of Canada are you from?”
