THE ACCEPTED HITCH-HIKING GESTURE IN AMERICA, THUMB
EXTENDED FROM A CLOSED FIST, IS AN INSULT TO A DRIVER ON
CANADA'S ROADS. IT HAS THE SAME MEANING THERE AS THE
RAISED SECOND FINGER FROM A CLOSED FIST HAS HERE
IN THE U.S. TO USE THE AMERICAN GESTURE IN CANADA
COULD GET ONE INTO A FIGHT, INSTEAD OF A RIDE.

BECAUSE HE IS ONLY GOING ONE OR TWO BLOCKS.
