A patron in a Montreal cafe turned on a tap in the washroom and got scalded. "This is an outrage," he complained. "The faucet marked 'C' gave me boiling water!"
"But, Monsieur, 'C' stands for chaude — French for 'hot'. You should know that if you live in Montreal."
"Wait a minute," roared the patron. "The other tap is also marked 'C'!"
"Of course," said the manager. "It stands for 'cold'. After all, Montreal is a bilingual city."
