    Good to know. Also, don't ever accept packages from anyone. Remember Brokedown Palace?

People are not stupid just because they don't speak English or think like you do." Ethnocentrism is the enemy! Also, they mayassume YOU are stupid not because you speak English, but because you may be from America. Come on, do you blame them? I have had the privilege of seeing other countries. In Australia, Jerry Springer is a widely accepted vision of American people as a whole. I kid you not.

    Great tips from my biggest man-crush. Mr Cooper, how do I love thee? An addendum to #26: If you're a Yank (as I am) and you say you're from Canada, you're just throwing away an opportunity to be an ambassador from your country. Why not show the world the face of decent people, rather than the face of a questionable government?
