Two matrons were taking a train across Canada in the 1940s. The country was beautiful but vast, and eventually they lost track of their location.

The train pulled into a station, and one of the women saw a man on the platform.

“Pardon me, young man,” she said. “Can you tell me what town this is?”

The man tipped his hat and said, “Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.”

The woman turned to her friend and said, “Isn’t that charming? They don’t speak English!”
