Ok so back to being relatively on topic for me...I was walking by the Canada pavillion when suddenly I overheard two women on motorized scooters. The woman looked around and said "We must be in Egypt" :confused: I don't even see where the idea could have come from...
Maybe they thought they were in denial. ;)

I know it's an old topic, and I know it wasn't an overheard reaction but while working yesterday in the Canada pavilion I said something to one guest (I can't even remember what, it's not important) and another guest called to me "That sounded VERY Canadian, good job!"... I don't think she believed me that I am from Canada.......

Did you call them "hoser" and say "Eh" a lot, because everyone knows that all Canadians sound like the McKenzie Brothers ;)

I knew you'd sucker me in! You don't know how to drive this thing!

Doug
I do so! It's just a ten speed, that's 5 speed times two!

Bob
We're going to crash! We're going to be in the water again!

Doug
Take off! We are not going to crash, eh? There's no way I'll crash this, this is a beer truck, eh?

I hate when you tell someone a fact and they do not believe you. I am part Mexican and people do not believe me. It is ironic that a Canadian is told that they are doing a great Canadian schtick. Too bad you could not whip out your documentatioin and show them you are a natural Canadian and not a CM acting like a Canadian.

I have it on good authority that on March 24th, 2006, they hired their first animatronic bus driver.

Sorry but they do not hire animatronic CMs. Animatronics are created in warehouses you silly goose. It was on July 14th, 1999 that the first animatronic bus driver was installed. It stopped working after half an hour on the job. Only humans are able to endure working for Disney it seems.
