Get a jet-propelled camel instead, and just point it in the right direction.

Bloody hell, Maxine, this is really pissing me off. I’ve been asking you for months whether the bus went to the station, and here you are practically admitting you knew all along? Faugh. That’s the last time I share my jelly babies with you, I can tell you, you duplicitous hussy.

I am in NYC today. I was passing by a bus stop. There were some people there waiting. I stopped and asked them “Does this bus go to the station?” They gave me a funny look. I walked on….

Bora, it’s like life imitating art imitating science, or something.

Jelly babies? I can has?

There’s a “no jet powered even-toed ungulates within 5 miles” air restriction round central London, so be careful. Being shot down by the RAF would be embarassing (and messy).

If you asked that question in this town, you’d get multiple people falling all over themselves to help you find (a) the right bus, (b) the right station, and © a language that both you and they speak fluently.
How this helps is not entirely clear to me.

Yes, what Richard said.
Also, there’d be someone from the Maritime provinces to comment that everyone is SO unfriendly here – back in their home town they would have given you a ride to the station, after first taking you home for tea and home-made cookies, and then the train would have waited for you if you were late, and the whole town would have waved you off on the platform. But people in Toronto are so unfriendly, they just tell you which bus to take.

Apparently, jet-propelled sheep are de rigeur in Cambridge.

I am teh laughing at Eva’s Maritimes comment. :D
Nicest airport security I’ve encountered – St. John’s NF, at about 1:00 AM. Right before meeting a fellow blogger who went out of her way to come to the airport and natter with me for three hours, in the middle of the night, while I awaited a connecting flight.
See? Stereotypes are sometimes true. ;)
