leah, master of quest’s global presence initiatives, passed this link on to me. interestingly, i was amused to see that canada and texas have roughly the same GDP- a similarity that reminded me of a bad joke about canada’s honorary status as the 51st state. i think it was (not surprisingly) told to me by an american while i was at regent. “what do canada and texas have in common?” he said. “they both think that they’re their own country”… yeah. speaking of texas, that reminds me of another conversation i was told about by a korean friend who was visiting texas for work.
texan: you’re not from around here, are ya? where ya from?
friend: i’m from korea.
texan: (puzzled) korea? what part of texas is that?
oh, it wouldn’t be funny if it wasn’t so true…
