Also, bravo... I woulda done the same thing. Montreal is a pretty rough town, even by American standards, but especially to Canadians. I guess it REALLY depends on your look. Cuz when I went to Montreal, not a thing happened to me. And I was walking around the heart of downtown in the badass part of the city till like 2AM and nothing happened to me. Prolly because I look like a crazy bastard/homeless/drug addict murderer.
Congrats on a funny story though, first entertaining psot I've read in a while around here.
