I was telling a friend from Canada that we had been to Lake Louise -- she
asked me if I had gone swimming there. I said, "No, we ....." and didn't
finish a sentence until she roared with laughter; I thought she was going to
pass-out. It was good-natured fun (for her!)

Of course, after she stopped doing the hyenae-thing, she explained (I won't
describe the demeanor) that no-one goes swimming in Lake Louise.

Reel me in!
