A patron in
Montreal cafe turned on a tap in the washroom and got scalded. "This
is an outrage," he complained. "The faucet marked C gave me
boiling water."
"But,
Monsieur, C stands for chaude - French for hot. You should know that if you
live in Montreal."
"Wait a
minute," roared the patron. "The other tap is also marked C."
"Of
course," said the manager, "It stands for cold. After all,
Montreal is a bilingual city."
