YOU CAN HAVE IT BOTH WAYS

From Reader's Digest 
Quoted from Catholic Digest

   An American visitor in a Montreal restaurant went to the washroom, turned on what he thought was the cold water and was scalded with hot water. "This is an outrage!" he screamed at the manager. "Why aren't your taps properly marked?"
   The manager patiently explained, "Look," he said. "This tap is marked C. That stands for Chaud, which is French for 'hot.' You should know that when traveling in Quebec."
   The customer stood abashed. Then he made a discovery. "Wait a minute, the other tap is marked C,  too. What about that?"
   "But, of course," said the proprietor. "That stands for "Cold.' This is a bilingual restaurant in a bilingual city, my friend."

   An old Wyoming cattle rancher was being questioned about the early days. "I suppose you ranchers hated to see the homesteaders come?"
   Surprisingly, he answered, "No, we were glad to see them."
   "Glad? I thought the cattlemen tried to run them off."
   The old fellow shook his head. "We helped them settle. Homesteading meant families and kids, so seven of us ranchers got together and built them a schoolhouse and sent off for a teacher."
   Then he added, "Us ranchers married the first seven teachers."
