Moving to America

[Ben Kenobi]

You used the word "Texas" and "sensible" in the same sentence?!? Accountants are sensible. Risk-management analysts are sensible. Driving under the speed limit and signaling for turns is sensible.

Texans weren't even hurt by the recent downturn. Seems like they've got their heads on straight. Californians on the other hand...

Texans are not sensible. They have style. They have swagger. They have panache. --But don't ever say the word "panache" to a Texan, or he'll beat you up.

They are also very down to earth folks. What can I say? Folks would be better off to be more like Texans.

I hear New Zealand is nice.

And quiet.

And small.

And has a low wage/income economy.

And has a high tax system.

And has gone PC mad.


But nice place for a holiday.

We need all the teachers we can get.

There are plenty of Americans who want those jobs and can't get them.

[SlowwHand]

Hispanics are all the same to Sloww...

As far as I'm concerned, Central and South America can be lumped in with Mexicans. KH's list is obviously "cooked" to some degree. You know how they are. Don't make me get politically incorrect. Do I need to say it? Do I need to go into great detail here? I mean, Alberta may be ok, but look at the rest of them.

New Zealand is supposed to be excellent. When I was in the circus, all the TDY (temporary duty) was snatched up ny higher rank.

[Drake Tungsten]

God, Sloww is such a ******.

[SlowwHand]

Which point convinced you?

[Drake Tungsten]

Your overall body of work convinced me.

[SlowwHand]

Well, good. Consistency is an aquired talent.

[Drake Tungsten]

On the contrary, consistent retardation is usually a birthright.

[SlowwHand]

In my case, it wasn't from birth. It was over a course of time.

There's a quota on Canadians. I've met quite a few illegal Canadians over the years.

Fair enough. I used to work for an illegal American (a draft dodger from the Vietnam nonsense)
