I identify, I lived in Manhattan one time for 10 weeks, at 31st and 7th Ave I believe. Was it ever noisy, there was a fire station right next door and they started the siren before the truck left the building, at least that's what it sounded like. In Vancouver you just tell everyone the mountains are to the north for directions. Anyway joke for the day. An Arab family was considering putting their grandfather in a nursing home. Since most of the facilities were completely full, they had to put him in a Jewish home. After a few weeks in the Jewish facility, they came to visit grandpa. "How do you like it here?" asks the grandson. "It's wonderful everyone here is so courteous and respectful," says grandpa. "We're so happy for you. We were worried that this was the wrong place for you. You know since you are a little different from everyone." "Oh, no! Let me tell you about how wonderfully they treat the residents here," grandpa says with a big smile. "There's a musician here -- he's 85 years old. He hasn't played the violin in 20 years and everyone still calls him 'Maestro'!" "There is a judge in here -- he's 95 years old. He hasn't been on the bench in 30 years and everyone still calls him 'Your Honour'! And there's a physician here -- 90 years old. He hasn't been practicing medicine for 25 years and everyone still calls him 'Doctor'!" "And what about you Grandpa" - asks the grandson. "And me, I haven't had sex for 35 years and they still call me, ‘The f*cking Arab’!"
