When I was home visiting during my first year university,  my Dad and I
participated in a log sawing competition.  We were interviewed by a reporter
from the local newspaper.  I guess a rather articulate gentleman talking about
alloy's, temper, thousand's of inches of "set", cc's etc., and his son who
was currently taking mathematics at UofWaterloo didn't quite fit her idea of
typical lumberjacks.  In the final article we both used phrases like "ya'al",
"eh", "werken fer a liven",  I was "hop'n ta be jus like pa" and be a real
lumberjack, and "Pa" was "hop'n the macheens" wouldn't "roon" my future.

At least she got our names right :-).
Rob.
