Sage and Paul are at the community centre.

Todd is at the government run LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) with a co-worker.
Co-worker So, what kind of champagne should we get to celebrate the project?
Todd Um, sorry - I don’t really know. I don’t drink.
Co-worker You don’t? We’ll have to get you something non-alcoholic for the party, then. Excuse me, clerk? Can you tell us where to find the non-alcoholic drinks?
Clerk You may have noticed the word LIQUOR at the beginning of our store name, sir.

Sage and Paul are on the bus.
Paul I see a store called Tim Horton’s. What do they sell there?
Sage Donuts.
Paul What’s a donut?
Sage It’s fried up dough, covered in sugar.
Paul Mmmm. Can we try one?
Sage We can split one. They’re really not good for your body. But we’ll have a special occasion, okay?
Paul Okay!

Sometimes I wonder what the Canadians make of us.
