Canadian Gangster

In the sport of curling, we have tournaments called bonspiels. Often, for the fun of it, the bonspiel will have a theme. Players can dress to fit that theme. One such popular spiel at the Roseland Curling Club in Windsor, Ontario is called the Rum Runners. Back during Prohibition here in the States, rum was 'run' across the river from Canada into Detroit. Make sense?

As you can imagine, gangland figures were heavy into that illegal booze traffic. One of my good Canadian friends played a gangster at the 2023 Rum Runners. He had a skit of sorts where he had to play rough with the curlers, as though a mobster trying to keep them in line. 

He had a difficult time with it. "Do you know how hard it is to sound tough when saying 'eh' at the end of every line?" the man who explained. "It's hard for Canadians to be mean."

Agree?
