True story.
I was in Memphis earlier in the week for a lil' party time and R&R, when a cashier at a novelty shop on Beale Street commented on my non-southern accent.
'Whurr you fruhm, innywayz?' she asks.
'Cuz you sound Canadian.'
Before I could tell her where I'm really from, she chimes in: 'Reason I know izcuz I got kin thats Canadian, and mah ex-huzbind n'me, we drove up there to Canadia when my sister in-law had a stroke... but she ain't dead, though...'
That's right, Cuh-nay-dee uh!
So thats when I told her you're absolutely right, I AM FROM CANADIA! She says: 'You know Pamela Andersons fruhm therrr... I deeid not know that ntil' bout 3 weeks ago. Y'all gotta lotta celebrities fruhm therrr, right?'
Yep, we sure do! Pamela Anderson... uh... SpexyAshleigh...
She cuts me off: 'Who'z SpexyAshleigh, I'ain't never heard uv her.'
SpexyAshleigh is one of the biggest celebrities in Canadia, she's practically ROYALTY! You should Google her when you get home.
'Well, seeinz how I still got dial-up... I try not to be on the net as much.'
I say, Oh, I'm sorry to hear that... well I hop you get to make your way up to Canadia again sometime soon.
'I shole will, bye now hun!!!!'
I walked out with my Mexican Wrestling Mask and feather boa. Next time I'm in Memphis, I'll be sure to send you a wrestling mask and post card with Elvis on it.
