I left Montreal on route 20 heading toward Quebec City, when I decided to stop at a comfort station. The first toilet stall was occupied, so I went into the second one. I was no sooner seated than I heard a voice from the next stall: "Hi, how are you doing?" Well, I am not the type to chat with strangers in highway comfort stations, and I really don't know quite what possessed me, but anyway, I answered, (embarrassed): "Not bad."

And the stranger said: "And, what are you up to?" Talk about your dumb questions!

I was really beginning to think this was too weird! So I said:

"Well, just like you, I am driving east."

Then, I heard the stranger, all upset, say:

"Look, I'll call you right back, there is some idiot in the next stall answering all the questions I am asking you. Bye!"
