That is aboot right, you forgot to mention the coloUr of the 
touque was grEy.

And since I am in the home of biscuits and bacon gravy, y'all

show the the US is not the centRE of the world afterall. And 
maybe they might even learn to spell correctly :-)

Can't Canadians be called Americans as well, since we are 
on the same continent, America?
