My dad was in the hospital in south Georgia and was visited by one of the ministers who served as rotating volunteer chaplains. He looked at the long Czech name and said, "You're not from around here, are you?

The minister says, "But where was you born?"
"Canada."
"I knew that was some kind of foreign name!"
Skipping to say thanks for the hippo birdies, everyone!

Huh?
We call it home to SyFy and CW genre productions. Long live Vancouver! I wonder what Colin is doing now?

Pretty much. Except many places now have a (usually 3rd/4th year) review to make sure you are on track to get tenure, basically to avoid the stress of "you've worked here 7 years, but now you're fired" that is getting denied tenure.
