For those familiar with the geography of Vancouver, there is a district
called Kitsilano which was popular with hippies (remember them?), and has
now been yuppified. There is another district called the West End which
has a lot of gay people. The two are separated by a body of water called
False Creek (because it isn't a creek).

The following dialogue was quite popular a few years ago:

   Q: "What's the purpose of the Burrard Bridge?"
   A: "To keep the fruits and vegetables apart."

I guess you had to be there.
