S: Are you new here?
D: No, I'm a substitute teacher today.
S: Oh, you look new. Where are you from?
D: Canada.
S: Oh. That's too bad.
D: *confused look
S: I want to go to America.
D: Uh, cool. Where in America?
S: I don't want to go to Canada. Just America.
D: Have you been to Canada before?
S: No.
D: Where have you been?
S: Japan.
D: I mean, have you been to another country? Like China or Korea?
S: No, only Japan. (consider that this man is about 35, doesn't look destitute, and Korea is 3 hours away by BOAT.)
D: Oh, that's too bad.
S: But I don't want to go to Canada. Only America.
D: Got it.
S: I have to go now. You look boring.
