> Oh, also, you know how they tell you to learn to look right first and then left. I've learnt that the translation is not as simple as going from Look Right, Step Out, Look Left to Step Out, Look Left, Look Right.
I don't get it... is this a refrence to crossing the street or something?
The water still goes counterclockwise (checking toilet... yep, counter clockwise) down the drain, right? That would be weird if the flusher was on the opposite side AND the water went the wrong way. Do shirts and pants have buttons on the right side there too? How far does this go? Have all the seemingly arbitrary "what side should we do this on" type decisions in our culture been influenced by Americans rebelling against the English in every vindictive little way imaginable? Wouldn't that be neat? *ahem* So, you're getting along okay then, right?

He's saying (I think) that in Canada, the operations are:
1. Look right.
2. Step out & Look left.
But you can't just simply reverse those into:
1. Step out & Look left.
2. Look right.
Or you stand a decent chance of being turned into a manhole cover somewhere in the middle of step 1.
