Reminds me of the time I heard a native Texan call someone a "Yankee", to which the person replied with a dumbfounded look: "Oh, aren't you a Yankee?" To which the native Texan replied: "Haill no, Ah tain't no damn Yankee" And our "Yankee" said: "Hmm, I guess that makes you a Yanker" BTW: Texas is great. The "northern" jokes suck though.
