"This burger represents the best of America and Canada coming together. It's like a polite drone attack."

You wouldn't believe the number of Canadians who come to my Costco and are offended that we don't have fries at the food court.
(Then stare at me blankly when I blame the metric system)

ok .. I'll bite … what does the metric system have to do with selling french fries ?

You americans need to learn how to make gravy, that stuff is the wrong colour :p

It's the right color on exit...

I had poutine in Chicago a few weekends ago, I think its popular because half your populace is high as a kite.

Poutine is awesome.

So all this talk about cheese curds on the burger but I dont see them. Are they melted or something?

I blame just about everything on the metric system.

Once again, Americans, gravy is not white. Paste is white.

Do some thermodynamics calculations in English units, you'll fall in love with the metric system then.

And thermodynamics is important when cooking burgers!

I've been thinking about buying a metric tape measure. I'd like a 30 footer...or something.

What's that, about 34 kilometers?

The best poutine I've ever had was at a truck stop in Northern Vermont just off of I-91. It even beat poutine I had in Montreal. I have no idea what the place was called, but I sure as E36 M3 remember where it was.

You're wrong. Gravy is white. E36 M3 is brown.

I like gravies of all colors. White gravies are for breakfast, brown gravies are for dinner. Duh.

Lots of things are white. Gravy is one of them. Brown gravy is good too. Can't we all just get along??

Thought y'all were talking about the next emperor of manly planet earth!

When our cold weather friends to the north celebrate a major achievement do they reefer to it as reaching a "kilometerstone?"

I tolerate brown gravy on roasts and the like, but much prefer good, thick, artery clogging, southern white gravy.

I tried the gravy on fries in Niagra Falls, it wasn't the worst thing I've ever eaten, but not something that made me think, "OMG, why have I not always eaten gravy on my fries?" I tend to dip them in ranch dressing if it's available.

Helpful hint: "No, your ass does." is not an acceptable answer.

depends on the reaction you're trying to get
