I was just having a little fun.

Oh, I knew that! And I was just trying to work off of Doug's grassy knoll comment in another thread -- but I couldn't figure out how to work it in....thus....Elvis!

I was thinking of a post in another forum along the lines of "I'm an Asian man thinking of moving to Atlanta. Do I need to fear for my life?" I was also thinking of a cousin of mine who is going to Paris for a week-long vacation. She is terrified of the French and wonders if she should pretend to be Canadian.

Well, after that French tourist was maimed by a gang of geoducks in Seattle, that might be a good idea, actually. Unemployed escargot...they are capable of anything.

Similarly, another cousin recently went to Australia. It seems that all we know about that place is from Crocodile Dundee and Mad Max. My mother was very anxious about going to India for a couple weeks a while back and was relieved when she cancelled the trip after 9-11.

There is about a 30% chance I will get sent to India for 8 weeks. Watch this space (for my "Hey, in what cities should I pretend to be Canadian?" post).!

I noticed the "this is my first time to America" part and just tried to think of any stereotypes I could. Sadly, I don't think I really did it justice.

Oh, I don't know...
