    I think these questions were rhetorical for the sake of the joke and amusement, not an actual survey.

    Funny Francois, I am more "Southern" than I thought.

    When you hit a patch of ice you downshift your sedan instead of gunning it so you can do donuts in your pickup truck. This is the main reason why Dallas shuts down after an ice storm (outside of the fact that we have no snow plows, as Robdar found out!): the sane people stay home and the rednecks come out to play!

    Hey, I'm from Mass and I'll be the first to tell you that Ted Kennedy DOES have an accent. He has an accent that no one else in the state, west of Boston, has.

    For the record, I saw Ted Kennedy in person and he has one of the largest heads I've ever seen on a person. Really. Disturbingly large. I'm not sure a person can really understand the dimensions of that man's cranium if you've never seen him in person.

    As for his accent...

    sheesh! I think he's faking it just to sound more intelligent.

    LOL @ detective!

    He had to have a disproportionately large head so that he could float to the surface in the Chappaquiddick (sp?) scandal of yesteryear.
