I used to travel to Sussex, New Brunswick, every summer for a  
gynormous flea market that usually featured more than 900 vendors. It  
started as a venue for auto parts, but the antiques people quickly  
jumped on board. I went in search of $1 CN fountain pens I could  
bring back, clean up, restore, and sell for $100 US. <g>  While in  
Sussex, I hung my hat at a wonderful bed and breakfast a few miles  
south of town. One morning, sitting around the breakfast table  
talking with the hosts and eight or ten other guests, I mentioned  
that my father's mother was an Orser from Black's Harbor, NB. "She  
was," I said, "a full-blooded Canadian."

The table erupted with laughter. A college professor slapped me on  
the back and said something like "What's a full-blooded Canadian,  
'ay?" I accepted the role of well-meaning fool with style and  
dignity, I thought. And they did have a good time with it. But to  
this day I still don't really understand why they all thought the  
concept of a "full-blooded Canadian" was so amusing. I guess we  
really are different. <g>
