00:00 I'm noticing, I think I have trouble with my hearing.
00:05 Something's off.
00:06 I always misunderstand a word
00:08 or miss an entire chunk of information altogether.
00:12 I'll give you a couple of examples.
00:15 I was working in Toronto,
00:18 and I checked in for my flight,
00:21 and the woman behind the counter said,
00:23 "Okay, you're all set.
00:25 You can go hang out now in the make-believe lounge."
00:30 [laughter]
00:37 I said, "Oh, yeah?
00:41 Where's that?"
00:44 And she said, "It's on the fourth floor."
00:47 I said, "Oh, is it now?"
00:50 And she was just like, "Mm-hmm, yeah."
00:52 And I said, "All right, well, uh,
00:55 I guess I'm gonna head up there now."
00:58 And the whole time, she's just nodding her head.
01:01 "Yep, okay. Okay.
01:04 Here I go."
01:06 [laughter]
01:12 Okay, here's the thing.
01:15 I deal with these types of people
01:18 in these jobs on a near daily basis,
01:22 and it's typically a very straightforward
01:24 exchange of information.
01:27 And with her, I thought,
01:29 "I've clearly stumbled upon a little weirdo.
01:33 But I'll play."
01:35 But she never said, "I'm just kidding."
01:39 So I thought, "Okay, I have to go see
01:41 what's going on on the fourth floor."
01:44 I press the elevator button, go up,
01:47 the doors open, and there is a huge sign
01:51 that says, "Welcome to the Maple Leaf Lounge."
01:56 [laughter]
01:59 You know, Canada.
