A few years back I got along pretty well up in Quebec by trying Spanish with a sort of French
accent.  People understood most of it.  Then we came upon a local who had rolled his bug into a
ditch.  We threw a rope over it and rolled it back onto the wheels, and then pulled him out of
the ditch.  It started right up.  After that we hung out together for a few days and he really
smoothed things with the locals.  I think the nearby town was St. Ann du Lac or something like
that.  It would have been about 1971.
