Do you know where your fire assembly point is?

[Mike Forst]

Yes

[Noesis]

To the nearest millisecond, on average how long does it take you to get there?

[Mike Forst]

That seems like a silly way to measure it

[Noesis]

What alternative method would you consider more viable; ruler, scales, thermometer, db meter etc?

[Mike Forst]

Seconds or minutes I guess. I won't know anyways since it's not like I run a stopwatch on it

[Noesis]

Well I guess that extinguished that line of questioning, erm .... erm .... erm.

Do you use a profanity jar to curtail the use of inappropriate words?

If yes, can you list in order the most expensive words?

If no, would you consider it helpful to introduce one?

Either way how would you best consider to spend money obtained in this way?

canadians don't use profanity. the jar would just take up space.

This is very true, the concept will simply be too alien. I should have realised this when posting.

Maybe a cultural faux pas jar then for miss-interpreting and finding hilarity in other cultures references?

Do your colleagues end all their sentences with, "aeh"?

They use an "I'm sorry" jar instead.

1. No
2. No
3. Beer

Do you have an I'm sorry jar instead?

Do you find yourself saying I'm sorry often?

How do you feel about Bryan Adams?

[Mike Forst]

* No
* A bit but not excessively (this might be hard to judge for a Canadian)
* No opinion

Am I missing a part of my stereotypical education
by not knowing that Canadians are often sorry?

[Mike Forst]

It is a thing we're known for

Are you going to put up an I'm sorry jar?

What if he said he was sorry he didn't?

Just gonna clear this **** up. There are two types of Canadians: One type swears at an average of 1.5 times in every ******* sentence (so much so the banks give people the chance to store their swear-jar money automatically in what we call a "savings account"), and the other type only swear about once a ******* week. It's my assumption that Mike is one of those ******** in the latter category.

But every ******* Canadian will say "I'm sorry" or other permutations thereof a decent amount, although I'm unsure (but fairly positive [CITATION NEEDED]) that it's more then the average of any other country's population.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone's ******* sensibilities.

Well you do have a lot of things to be sorry for. Namely....being Canadian.
