That is a nice pun/joke, but I think the error was due to the
randomization process that happens when you're not told exactly what to
do. As I said, I would think that the proper direction was obvious, but
who am I to say?

Is it a distress sign or insult to fly the Maple leaf that way? BTW, I
remember the Old Canadian flag from my childhood- didn't it have a Union
Jack and Fleur d Lise on it? It was a pretty flag.
