Oh Canada!

So every Thursday night at The Ark is trivia night. A bunch of us used to go every week and play until it got too crazy and loud and stopped being fun. I actually hadn't been there on a Thursday night in a while, when K decided we should go there last Thursday for a drink.

Trivia was well under way and we weren't planning on playing, so we grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered our drinks. Well, it's kind of hard not to participate when you can hear all the questions being answered. Plus, the bartenders were playing and everybody around you winds up disucssing the questions that they're asking.

I'm really just trying to watch the Yankee game, when one question that seemed to stump a lot of people came up...What country starts with the letter O? J the bartender seemed to think it was Oman, a country in the Middle East. I wasn't sure, but it did sound familiar to me. K was not convinced though...

K: Is it Ottawa?

B: No...Ottawa is a city in Canada.

K: Oh. It must be Ontario then.

B: (Shaking my head) No, Ontario is a state in Canada.

(And before you all start commenting me to remind me that Ontario is not a state, but actually a province...I know. It was just easier to explain to K that it was a state. I would have f*cked her whole night up if I threw a new big word at her like province.)

K: Oh. I don't know what it is then.

I thought the whole Canadian problem was over with...but no, here comes H, one of the waitresses there.

H: I thought it was Ontario.

K just laughed...I explained that it was a state in Canada and went back to watching the Yankee game. I know K was serious, but I'm kind of hoping H knew better...
