I remember a Cognos presentation in Boise, Idaho USA back in about 1987 or
'88 where the presenter explained...

  "Since COGNOS is a Canadian company, each line of QUIZ code
   can be terminated with a carriage return or, optionally,
   with the word 'eh'"

I don't remember lots of laughs (except mine :-) )...I always thought that
was a good one!
I don't think it was meant to offend...apologies if it does....(at least you
don't have valley girls up there...(fur sure!)

How rude. You should apologize.
If it weren't for the Canadians, we wouldn't have such fairly priced
products like Powerhouse and Quiz!
Now, do you want gravy with those French Fries?
