I have told this story before.  I am sitting in front of the 
Ben and Jerry's Icecream store in Freeport Maine.  My 
children are off in a bookstore and my wife is shopping.  
Periodically she comes back and talks to me.  An older guy is 
sitting at the other bench turns to me and ask "Southern"?  
He heard my wife's accent.  "Yep", I reply.  He thinks for a 
few seconds and says "We have the same problem that you 
do".  "Oh what is that", I replied.  He points to a car with 
Massachusetts Tags and replies "Too many God Damn Yankees".
