A patron in a Montreal café turned on a tap in the washroom and got scalded.
"This is an outrage," he complained. "The faucet marked C gave me boiling water."
"But, Monsieur, C stands for chaude – French for hot. You should know that if you live in Montreal."
"Wait a minute." Roared the patron. "The other tap is also marked C."
"Of course," said the manager. "It stands for cold. After all, Montreal is a bilingual city"
