Things People Said. Sometimes ordinary people can be drop dead funny. I personally like the tourist ones.
These are great, though I don't see what's funny about this one -
"You're from New Zealand, aren't you? That's just off the southeast corner of Canada, isn't it?" -- Asked of a New Zealander on a trip to Washington D.C.
It's just true isn't it? ;)
Actually, it seems like there are patterns to these mistakes - Americans don't know anything about Europe, Europeans don't know anything about the States, and no one knows anything about Australia, New Zeland or Wisconsin.
I've never heard of someone confusing New Zealand with Nova Scotia before. But I see where they're coming from, I mean, both places have two-word names, one of which begins with N, so yeah.
Grr.
I enjoyed the almost-English translations. In a hotel in France, I once saw on a wall the semi-friendly, semi-confusing and highly threatening "Enjoy your life!".
If you are tired of RinkWorks you are tired of life.
Do you have food issues?

Hot drinks to take out or sit in.
Would you like to care for a cup of coffee?
