On the other hand, most road signs in Quebec are 
in French only.  But I always laugh when I see a
certain exception to this rule.  On a sign near 
Montreal it says "Pont aux EU - Bridge to USA".
I guess they figured that if that sign were in French 
only, the Americans would never find their way home.
