   This has not happened in a long time but, when I moved to the area I live   
   in now (about 28 years ago), for several years people would sometimes ask   
   me if I was from Canada.   
      
   I don't know why.  I was born in Kentucky, and so were my parents and   
   theirs, and the city I live in now is in Kentucky.   
      
   I would also be asked sometimes if I was from Alabama.  I think that is   
   because I prefer college football over basketball, which is the big sport   
   in this state.  Otherwise, I have no idea what Canada and Alabama would   
   have in common that would cause people to guess one or the other.  :D
