The Following conversation is the reason why everyone outside US thinks that we're just a bunch of bumbling idiots. That and George W. Bush.
(Quote taken from a Page-A-Day calendar)
California Highway Patrol officer (after pulling over a speeding car near Fresno): License, registration, and proof of insurance.
Driver: Here you go, officer.
Officer: Your license says you’re from Vermont. That’s in Canada, right? Well, I know that cars go faster there because of the metric system or whatever, but while you’re in the US of A you have to slow down a little bit, okay?
Driver: Yes, officer. I will.
Officer: Since you’re not from here I’m gonna let you off with a warning, but slow down okay? This ain’t Canada.
Driver: Here you go, officer.
