I'm only a half hour away ;P

To speak Bostonian, drop all the r's, and pronounce every vowel as 'ah'....

So there was this problem on a Massachusetts highway: way too many crows flying in front of vehicles and causing damage and even the occasional accident.  The state police hired a forensics expert, who determined from paint analysis that the majority of the vehicles hitting the crows were trucks, even though the cars on the road outnumbered the trucks about three to one; but she was mystified as to why this should be so.  She consulted with one of the biology faculty at the university, who spent a day observing the crows before pointing out that, when a flock of crows was in the vicinity of the highway, there was always one sitting in a nearby tree, watching the road closely.  He commented that crows can't pronounce the word "truck," and went back to his lab.

and in Boston, the crows knew that automobiles were CAW, CAWS, so they would get out of the way when they heard caw,caw,caw.

86 miles from Boston, and we can hear them clearly.

Ugh. I'm groaning and laughing at the same time...

"pock the caw in the yod" (Park the car in the yard).

My best friend is from Basston (Boston), originally. We just recently convinced him to refer to the local grocery store as "store" for short, instead of the "Mocket". LOL

Back in the 80's I lived in Peabody Mass. for 6 months, worst drivers in the world up there.
And (polite) is not in their dictionary. And they talk funny as hell, like being in a foreign country.
Be-ah = beer, lol.

Connecticut isn't any better.  A co-worker from that state was talking for quite a while about a pah cur before any of us realized she was talking about a parka.
