True story. New
Hampshirite in Boston recognizes her own kind, sitting right in front of her at
Swan Lake performed at the Wang Center. The music swells. The dancing
proceeds. After about 15 minutes one Yankee turns to the other: “When’s
somebody gonna say something?”
The other says: “Bea, it’s a ballet. Nobody’s gonna say nothing.”
“You mean we drove all this way to watch a show and nobody’s gonna say anything?”
“Yup.”
On the other side of the coin, the fella from Massachusetts gets off track in New Hampshire. Stops at a convenience store and asks directions: “Can you help me find I-93?”
Native says: “Didn’t
know it was lost.”
