Flight Irregularities on the way home

I'm back in Portugal.

I got to the airport in Toronto and the lady said "Would you like to volunteer to go in another flight, later on? Because we have to many people for this flight... You would receive 120 dollars."

First I thought "Wow, 120 dollars..."

But then I realized "Oh, crap, it's Canadian money, give me my flight back, lady."

Hey, stop picking on canadians! They help us (uhm me) belgians out in the first big one :) Besides, at the current rate, the US dollah isn't as far from a kanuck buck as it used to be.

You simply didn't get the joke because you weren't at the auction in Toronto :-)

Everytime an item would go up a bit too much, Uri would say something like "Wow, 200 dollars..."

Then somebody from the audience would say "Yeah, but it's Canadian" and Uri would go "Oh, crap, it's Canadian money..."

Uri was, btw, a great auctioneer.

"You will give me your money!"
