Hello. My Name is Alder. I am from the Canadian Government. Would you prefer red or white this evening?
UPDATE 7/23/04 (4:20 PM PDT): Apparently, the position has been filled, or the posting has been taken down to avoid answering embarassing questions from Canadian taxpayers. I hope one of you got an application off while it was still up.
