Dwarves

A conversation in Montreal (a.k.a. what Canadians think of Oregon):

Canadian: Ahh Oregon! The dwarves, they are so cool. 
Me: Excuse me?
Canadian: You know the show. The Little People? 
Me: Oh, yes that show. Little People, Big World?
Canadian: Yeah, I love those little guys. This is Oregon, no?
(Canadian lights cigarette, brings over lady friend.)
Canadian (points at me, exhales): The midgets, the little people, this is where she lives! 

Analogy lesson of the week: A pumpkin-farming family of dwarves is to Oregon as a raittailed, meth-head hunter is to Hawaii. In other words, reality TV brings the world together.
