Also, arent hero's called "subs" out by you, Chief?

I never got used to going to PA and hearing about "hoagies". Hoagies?? WTF is a hoagie?? If I asked for an Italian hero, ya gonna show me a pic of Sly Stallone????
Some of those cats been livin' out in the sticks (sorry, in the "country"

) for too long.

A few years ago, I went to Hawaii, and went into a 7-11 (yeah, they got 'em there) and asked for a buttered roll. You'd have thought I went into a fast food chinese and asked for lasagna. After looking at me like I had two heads, the chick tells me "well, we have HAMBURGER rolls... you could butter one of them..."

Some folks just dont get it. Thats why when an unsuspecting out-of-towner takes their chances coming here, figuring "hey... just because Im in cowboy boots, a cowboy hat and a flannel shirt, and Im wearing my Nikon around my neck, Ill be able to just blend RIGHT in"... well, its kinda like one of those "Discovery" programs, where the dude figures he can swim with the white sharks, and just cause he looks like a fur seal in the water, he wont get noticed. Yeah, sure. Before he notices, he's only got one leg.
"DAMN!! How'd that happen"??

"I dunno, sir... but one of my boys just HAPPENS to have an extra leg for sale, and DAMN if it doesnt look JUST like the one your missing... here, camman in this alley for a sec... look what the boys got for ya..."
