[at-l] Yankees (O.T.)

[camojack at comcast.net (Jack)]

Things spoken "in jest" are often meant literally, even if the speaker says otherwise. 

My sense of humor is intact, thanks for asking. 

Am I embarrassed about being a Yankee...well if I am in fact, a Yankee, should I be? I think not. 

AM I a Yankee? Depends upon whom you ask; I was born (just) North of the Mason-Dixon Line, in Philadelphia, so for some that qualifies me. Others, like Bob C. (A.K.A. "Weary") consider Yankees to be New Englanders.

Am I trying to start something? No. I am trying to put an END to something...

  >Ryan tells me that Orange Insect, the pseudo-intellectual redneck, only makes these "Yankee" comments in jest. I am inclined to disagree, as they are a frequently recurring element in his posts. What do y'all think?

  Of course, they are in jest!  We all say stuff like that in jest.  Remember the Jeff Foxworthy thread recently?  "You know you're a hiker if........."  It's all in fun.  Doesn't anyone have a sense of humor, anymore?  Are you embarrassed about being a Yankee?  ARE you a Yankee?  Other people have been poking fun at the Southerners, too, and we don't fuss about it.  It's all in fun.  Rest easy.  anklebear

  P.S.  Are you trying to start something here?
