4. True story

I'm a Mississippi native, left at age 18 in 1962, go back for funerals. However, I stayed in the South, never lived north of Tennessee.

Back 25 (??) years ago I flew into NY on business -- my first trip to the land of the damnyankees.

Two guys got off the plane in front of me, from their accents they clearly were NY natives. Walked down the ramp, into the terminal, one turned to the other and said: "Something's wrong!! I've been in New York for 5 minutes and nobody has cursed at me!!"

Let's hope that does not happen to Trump -- curse at the moron the minute he shows his face and don't stop.
