I like that Maine humor. It's the only other state I could imagine living for an extended period. Obviously, that wouldn't make me a native, nor even welcome.
I constantly give my wife grief because she was born in Virginia, yet claims to be a WA native. She moved out to Seattle at age three months. On 1/4/07, Curt Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
A man and his wife moved into our little town in Maine, they had kids and after 20 years started to proclaim themselves "natives". The man got taken aside and told that while he was a welcome, valued member of the community he was NOT a native. He exclaimed that his children whom had lived there their whole lives must certainly be natives. The real native replied "If your cat had kittens in the oven you wouldn't call them biscuits." Eventually after 40 years in town the man died, on his tombstone they put "He was almost one of us". Maine humor, nothing like it..... thankfully.
