When this asshole finally dies or goes to jail (please), we might as well burn the place down and start over. You ain't ever getting the stench out the walls...
Give Canada a call - we did it once before for you guys... 😏
Come on down, the address hasn’t changed.
If you're still offering...
Can I sign up for this mailing list?
I'm not familiar what's the history there?
War of 1812. They burned the White House.
That was the Brits.

Don't worry, Canada still takes credit for it.

That's the capitol, though, no...?
You know what, you're right. I must have vaguely remembered both and blended the two stories.
That's the capitol building though
Or the ketchup.
