Maybe people should read before they post urban legends
All the 'stupid yank' stories are beginning to run together. It is now getting like:
I was in the US and got stopped by a Yank. He asked me where I was from.
"England."
"Oh, what language do they speak there?" he replied. He then said he has a cousin who lives in Loogabarooga. Then he said he saw some nice castles but they had been built too close to airports.
Please stop. I'm having an allergic reaction to all this bullshit.
The worst thing I've heard a Yank say is when I was at the bar and a Yank and his fat wife saunter in and he asks for a beer, then obnoxiously adds:
"Can it be cold, I can't understand how you can drink it warm."
I had to resist the urge to punch him. I don't know where the hell this warm beer stereotype comes from. Most of my life has been spent in bars and I've never had a warm beer.

Whisky
At my uncle's wedding, as a little gift at the meal, they had placed a little ceremonial whisky bottle with a picture of the location of the reception and their names underneath it.
While rather hammered later on in the evening, my brother, my cousin and myself were bored and were looking to cause some trouble. We found an entire box full of these whisky bottles.
To make a short story shorter, I woke up in the morning in a double-bed with my brother and my cousin lying comatose at the bottom of the bed and our own replica Berlin Wall built entirely out of empty whisky bottles.
We wrapped them up in a bedsheet and lobbed them in the wardrobe and decided to check out sharpish.

In Canada
A friend and me were in a car driving back from a bar with two of our Canadian friends (one of them being the driver). My friend blurted out,
"God, I'm dying for a fag."
It took him a while to click since the three of us were pissing ourselves over the cross-cultural slang.
If you don't get it, a fag in the UK is a cigarette, whereas a fag in the US/Canada is a gay.
