I once went to a run down pub in a rough part of London (UK), and my friend introduced me to a local thug...this guy looked like a major gangster who wouldn't hesitate to kill you if you looked at him wrong. Anyways, I told him I was from Calgary and he went off about the Calgary Stampede. He seemed to think everyone in Calgary carries around guns. It was pretty funny actually.
