The Canadian

Jeremy was at work a few weeks ago. He arrested a really drunk, biligerent jerk of a guy. On the way up to the jail, the guy started complaining about Jeremy. He noticed Jeremy had a US flag on his uniform. The guy then complained that "You shouldn't have this job and be wearing that flag if you're a Canadian!" Jeremy couldn't figure out WHY this guy thought he was a Canadian. Do Canadians look a certain way and Jeremy fits in?

Then, a few days ago, this same guy calls dispatch because he claims his house is being robbed. Since the guy had caused Jeremy such problems, THREE deputies went to this call. The guy still didn't have the best attitude. He commented to the deputies that they had arrested him just a few weeks ago. The deputies all told him it wasn't them that arrested him.

The guy then says, "I know. It was that damn Canadian!"

Jeremy's new nickname amongst the deputies is the Canadian. No one has any clue why that guy thinks Jeremy is a Canadian. We'll likely never know.

That's so funny. Does Jeremy happen to say "eh" at all?!

No, he doesn't! Which is why it's so funny. He doesn't have a Northern Prairie accent or anything...just your typical Washington accent. However, if he ever runs into the guy again, he's already planning his use of "eh." Why not solidify it for the guy?
