I entered Canada and the first thing I asked for was some bloody chips, he then gave me a packet of Lays and I knocked him out and said you can keep the change.

why did the yanks choose to shorten "gasoline" to "gas" instead of "petroleum" to "petrol"?
i did read somewhere it was because "Petrol" was actually a UK brand name that evolved into popular use like "sellotape" "tipex" and "hoover", is there any truth in that?

Petroleum is the substance coming from oilfields, and containing a vast variety of organic substances (hydrocarbons). This petroleum is fed into a separation and reaction system, known as refinery, where different groups of substances are separated from the main petroleum mixture, for being sold after as other products. This new products are known as fractions. One of these fractions is gasoline, which contains hydrocarbons from C5 to C11 roughly.
Summarizing, petroleum is a mixture of compounds that occurs naturally on Earth. Gasoline is a product drawn from petroleum through a refining process.
The Americans then just shortened the name to gas.

It was outrages, I got more. Was driving on the road and everyone seemed to be heading towards me. The worst drive of my life. Never had to dodge so many cars.
Went into the local pub dawn ere, said to the bloke behind the bar, give me a strongbow, he said that would be 7 bucks. It all kicked off, 7 bucks for a strong bow, I drunk that for 70p a bottle at home while lying on the side walk.
But everyone here looks like Justin Bieber, Skate boarding around, that's what happens when you don't have propar chips.
And Vancouver Canucks? What sort of team are they, they are the worst bowls team I've ever seen.
