Haha!  This cracked me up; several weeks back, I was phoning varios 
tech support numbers in a vain search for help from MSN, and one of 
the people I ended up speaking to was a young man in Kentucky.  I'm 
in Texas, and even with all the accents I hear, I could barely 
understand him.  I thought it was so funny, I kept repeating what I 
thought he said, then he'd correct me.  He probably thought I had an 
IQ of 3.  He was extremely sweet, and gave me the most helpful advice 
I got that day.  BTW, my folks like a glass of buttermilk now and 
then, too, (raised in TX) usually crumbling up cornbread in it as 
well, to make that delightful mush...
