Inverness

You're even pinching names off Scotland now. How low can a country sink?

[giblets]

If they have a place called Cardiff, then they've hit rock bottom.

[Asher]

Cardiff, Ontario

This is why Alberta rules, BTW.

[Asher]

Newfoundland also rules, because they named their new found land...Newfoundland.

Plus they have towns like:
Come-by-chance, Newfoundland...
Dildo, Newfoundland...
Goobies, Newfoundland...
Joe Batts Arm, Newfoundland...
Upper Dildo, Newfoundland...

Well Prince George is in New Caledonia, and much of the land was first surveyed by Alex Mackenzie, another Scot.

But that should be Invermere.

[Ben Kenobi]

Canadian dollars are not benjamins. Your stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

So you think we don't use that term up here? They would be Bordens, but nobody calls them that.

[Asher]

Nobody calls them benjamins up here either.

[Ben Kenobi]

So what do they call them in Asherville?

[giblets]

So you think we don't use that term up here? They would be Bordens, but nobody calls them that.

Nobody calls them benjamins up here either.

Do people in rural BC wish they were Americans or something?

[Asher]

So what do they call them in Asherville?

Call what? C-notes?

[Asher]

Do people in rural BC wish they were Americans or something?

Either that or they're insufferable hippies.

Either way, awful people.

[Ben Kenobi]

Call what? C-notes?

Really?

Do you call them L-notes too?

People from toronto are strange.

[Ben Kenobi]

Either that or they're insufferable hippies.

I'll ask around. See what people call them here.

[Asher]

I mostly hear them called "hundred dollar bills".

[Ben Kenobi]

Which is why I called them Benjamins because we need different slang.
