    Maybe we could "sticky" this thread; much like we did on the old forum to explain the "search" button.

    Doughnuts? Have not consumed a doughnut in 3yrs. You must be referring to Tim Horton's. What a character that guy was. Great player, enjoyed life to the max. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Horton

    The first time I went to Canada was a ski trip in 2003 I think. I was travelling alone, and a group of friends got delayed in Salt Lake City. Upon my arrival at the airport in Calgary, I decided to have a bit of lunch before heading out to Banff. It was a Tim Horton's. I ordered a burger. It came with doughnuts, but no fries. I gave the cashier a $10.00 bill (USD) and he gave my my burger and doughnuts along with a $10.00 bill (CD) plus some big coins called loons and toons. No fries. I thought "man, what a country", Realized later that there was a big discrepancy between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar (about 1.5:1) at the time. Of course all that booze consumed on the flight and upon arrival didn't help much. But doughnuts with burgers is something different. Of course I ate them anyway, not wanting to be the ugly American you know. Then I boarded the shuttle to a bar in Banff to await my friends arrival.

    You'd already given yourself away, by ordering the burger, and paying with USD.

    They only serve the burgers and doughnuts to confuse you Southerners.

    Brother, are you sure it was a Tim's? They have never served burgers. Sausage muffin maybe? And doughnut with? gag....Think I read about this - you the guy they took away in handcuffs? Made the front page of the Sun. The article was written by a faily well known columnist: Ivor E. Tower.

    Not really sure now, it was in the food court at the Calgary airport. Burger and doughnuts I got, and that's for sure. No fries.
