It's in the Canadian Criminal Code, eh. Like there's legal precedence

set in cases in law, eh?

So, like give us our free beer.

Attendant

You want free beer? Go to the brewery. Now get out of here before I

Uh, Ted said she had lawyers with her...I thought we should discuss it.

Ted

I did NOT say they were lawyers, YOU said they were lawyers.

Good morning, how may I help you?

Doug

When did he die?

Secretary

I beg your pardon?
