You know you're in montreal when....

Have you ever been channel surfing on tv, REALLY bored and come accross Just For Laughs Gags and thought... well, this is better than NOTHING... soon to be proven wrong by how bloody irritating the show is? Well I have. And I'm sorry to say that I have contributed.

Today while going to the metro I walked into a situation so predictably a gag that only one as naive as I would fall for it. The gist of the gag is this: An obviously blind man stands at the edge of a park and calls the unsuspecting pedestrian over (ME). HE then asks them to watch his suitcase while he goes to the washroom. So far, sktechy, but nothing obviously amiss. So he comes out with a ridiculously long piece of toilet paper stuck on the back of his pants. (this is where I think: Fuck. Im on tv.) The victim is then asked to remove it, which proves difficult to do as it seems to be an unending supply coming from the mans pants. This is the part where I refuse to play along any more. I keep trying to hand him the paper and he keeps trying to get me to pull it. Eventually he stops the act and asks me to pleaaaase keep going because, surprise, Im on tv. Im thinking, no fuck sherlock and no fucking way. Anyways, I convince him I really AM in a hurry so he lets me leave. Not before some guy runs at me with some sort of waiver which I am only NOW realising that I did NOT read.... but DID sign.

So yes. I am now part of Montreal culture, willingly or not.

Go me.
