"My dad once accidentally told Clint Eastwood to please kindly leave Canada. Back in the early '90s, Clint was in southern Alberta doing some shooting for Unforgiven (I think, probably). It just so happens that so were we, but not because of a movie; we were doing some camping and had been camping for like a good solid week before deciding, one day, to check out the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology because that's the best thing ever..."
"So there we were, this extremely stinky, camping family, the very embodiment of the lower class, hanging out in a museum looking at dinosaur bones because awesome. It just so happens that Clint and crew had the day off and decided to check out dinosaur bones too because [they are] awesome and I respect a movie guy who likes massive bones."
"Well, Dad overhears one of the crew guys griping about how lame Canada apparently is compared to America, and how he couldn't wait to go back home, etc, and the crew guys were chuckling about it. So, stinky dad waltzes over -- a true, red-blooded Canadian, proud of his country, a real patriot -- and tells them that if they don't like it, why don't they all [expletive] off and go back to America? Dad doesn't realize that Clint Eastwood is among the people he's swearing at, because Dad invented the Dumb Dad trope. After they wander off, grumbling about rude stinky Canadians or something, Dad comes back to us, and Mom essentially asks him, happily, 'Oh what were you talking to Clint about?' all bubbly and excited. 'Clint who?'"
Yikes!
