There's logic for you
To start off with, I'm Canadian.

I was chatting with a guy from the US (yes, it's another of those stories) and he asked what university I went to. I told him the name, and even sent him the website- www.universityname.ca.

Three seconds later he asked if I had a nice Turkey for Thanksgiving.

Me: Um, yes. But that was a month ago.
Him: What are you talking about?
Me: I'm Canadian, we celebrate it a month before you do in the States.
Him: You don't live in California?
Me: What? No!
Him: But that website ended with .ca!

That's right, he thought that .ca stood for California, not Canada. Whoops.
