Reminds me of a trip I made to look at a golf course development in North Myrtle Beach back in the 1980's, the guy couldn't get financing so he came begging to Canada with his hat in hand, a nice project but the guy was an idiot so we didn't advance funds on the project but we did have a nice few days in Myrtle Beach. The first night out on the tow with Thadeus Williams (the prospect) we went to a bar and were having a good time Steve, Peter, myself and David the elder statesman of the Canadian party. The locals were warm and friendly and the drinks were going down really easy when 4 Texans in 10 gallon hats, cowboy boots and jeans with the huge belt buckles walked into the bar and started to give the locals shit. Texas had everything bigger than their state, Texas was the best, Texas wouldn't allow a dump like this in it's state - blah, blah, blah. I guess the booze got into David because suddenly he stood up on his chair and yelled over the din 'Texas Fuck!, I'm from Canada and we've got a lake bigger than your whole damned state!' Steve and I looked at each other with mouths agape as the Texans set their beers down on the bar and sauntered over to our table, fighting words had been thrown and they were looking for a fight. David would be no help as he was pushing 60 and had never pushed anything more than a pencil, Peter was about the same but in his 40's, Steve rolled with a biker gang and I ran construction sites so we could handle our own but these were 4 big Texans so it was going to be 2 on one for both of us as soon as the first punches were thrown. David sat back down in his chair and the biggest Texan said 'Stand Up' - well here we go I thought to myself. There was a sudden shift in the bar and a half dozen local boys moved in around us but not to watch us get the crap get beat out of us but to start pushing back on the Texans. 'You heard the man, your state isn't even as big a lake in Canada, why don't you go the hell back where you came from?' Yeah, go home! Get out of here!' and with that the 4 Texans were hazed out of the bar, plastic cups and food thrown after them in full retreat. David bought a round and praises of Canada were heard all around.
I suppose if we have to we can always burn the White House down - Again.
