    Strange coincidence.

    While on holiday in Montreal, a Texan ate in a fancy restaurant. Halfway through the meal, he visited the lavatory, but ran out yelling. “Whatever is the matter, sir?” asked the waiter. “I tried using the cold tap and the water came out hot!” the Texan replied. “Mais non monsieur, en francais the “hot” tap is labelled “C” for “chaud”. “But the other tap was labelled “C” as well!”. “Oui, that is in English – “C” for cold. Monsieur, remember, we are a bilingual city!”

    I trust that the Quebecois spoke with due froideur?

    Whereas here in Perth, you know you’ve got the cold tap when it starts out uncomfortably hot. At least in January.

    Whoever heard of a Hispanic with only two initials?

    And if it’s too hot in Perth, move to Arbroath.

    In fairness, a joke I stole from a commentator at Motley Fool, but a jokes a joke, right?

    The main rationale is that it’s funny.

    LOL … can’t wait to borrow that joke.

    Here in France they inscribed the initials of Fidel Castro.
