ジム先生とショーンはエンパシーゼロ。

I'd actually given up on this thread, so the above surprised me when
I happened across it while paging through.

エンパシーゼロ, eh? Oh well, ショーン, we Canadians will just have to
stick together.

Oh, is one of your parents from Canada?

Not at all. Some years ago the US State Department(*) WWW site mentioned
me and said I was a "Canadian professor". Text from that site was copied
onto a couple of others as well, including ISTR a 外務省 one. I've been
using it as a pretext for a gag about being "Canadian".

I see.
That's the very reason Sean could have a chance to pick you up and group up
a good Canadian league.


(*) Decaying empires often seem to confuse vassal states.

Isn't this a punch of meaningful words which we were actually taught by histories
notably somewhere in Europe?
