yuuago(This post probably won't make much sense to people who aren't from Canada. Sorry!)
My brother arrived back in town today. He's been in Newfoundland for a week or so, visiting his girlfriend's family.
Apparently the following conversation took place more than once:
"So, where're you from?"
"Fort McMurray."
"No, I mean, where are you from?"
"...Fort McMurray?"
"Yeah, but where do you live?"
"Fort McMurray."
"But where were you born?!"
"Fort. Mc. Murray. :|"
[/facepalm] Oh boy.
Yes, believe it or not, people are from here! It's not just a place that people move to in order to live in a camp at site and go to work! Imagine that.
