<DIV><TT>. It's probably <BR>> one of those stereotypical Kentucky
things. There are tons<BR>> of 'em. I live in Seattle now, and
I don't have an accent and <BR>> people always are amazed that I come from
Kentucky. It's right <BR>> after the 'do you wear shoes' question.
:)<BR>> <BR>> Meredith<BR><BR>As a Norwegian in Kentucky, the
first question was 'do you have VCRs <BR>in Norway?' (There are more VCRs
compared to the population in Norway <BR>than in USA), followed by 'do you
have cars'. No questions about <BR>polar-bears, oddly enough, and nobody
even knew what whaling was (I <BR>wrote my English III research-paper on
whaling).<BR><BR>Have you seen the "I AM CANADIAN" Molsen beer commercial?
This deals with stereotypical ideas about Canadians in a hysterically humorous
way. My Canadian friend had to explain to me that people think they should
"know" anyone that the non-Canadians happen to know. Also, that they go there
in the summer expecting to ski.</TT></DIV>
