Gary, as always this is excellent writing. But, of course, I have a little more to say than that:
I don't have to prove I'm refined - that's what makes me refined! |

Yeah, maybe we Canadians don't know our Broken Swords from our hockey sticks.

Gar, far be it from me to suggest how someone should write, but even ordering your same words differently makes it read less thickly:
I don't have to prove I'm refined - that's what makes me refined! |

I always enjoyed - and from your writing so did you - the fact that George as a protagonist has the joke on him at least as often and probably moreso than anybody else. For all his Chandler Bing-esque sardonic wit, he is at almost every turn outdone by everybody he gets into conversation with. He's no Gabriel Knight by a long shot and yet I can't help but love the guy.

George usually getting out-witted was just one of the many things that made the BS series the best written dialogue in a videogame.
