Coming back to the US from Toronto, you clear customs and immigration in the Toronto airport. Tonight, all the US passport holders were all standing in one line — maybe 20 of us — when an Immigration person told us to split into two parallel lines to take advantage of the two open desks. The guy who was seventh in line now became the first in the new line, taking the next 7 or 8 people behind him. But, because our new leader was a fair and wise leader, he let the next six people on the original line go ahead of us. Only when the woman who had been ahead of him had been served did he go through Immigration.

I thought this was so cool it was practically Canadian! [Tags: politeness americans canada toronto line_integrity]
