Steven Jobs is giving a speech now?
Quote:
[Ray meets this Canadian in Mexico]
I remarked that there seemed to be quite a few Canadians in Mexico.
He bristled. "Why shouldn't there be?"
"Out of proportion to your numbers, I mean. It was just a neutral observation."
"We're quite free to travel, you know. We can even go to Cuba if we wish."
"I'm not making myself clear."
"Do please make yourself clear."
"Well, there are two hundred million Americans and twenty million
Canadians, and my country is closer to Mexico than yours, but I get
the impression that there are just about as many Canadians here as
Americans. At this table, for instance."
"You're not the only Americans. You people just stole that name."
"Look here, why don't you kiss my ass?"
