oh what the hell,, since the fires are lit,,,

a friend visiting from Colorado went to the local tavern with us and was somewhat interested in my neighbor sitting across the bar. i told her she should go over and strike up a conversation with him.
she decided she would give that a try.
she went over and was talking to him but came back in just a couple minutes. she was disappointed about the outcome and i asked her why. she said the guy doesn;t speak English.
i knew better so i asked what was said.
she told me she asked him where he was from. and he replied,
"Saskatoon Saskatchewan eh"

what's that smell? sometin burning??
