I'm with Chris on this one. Here's a true story:

6 or 7 years ago I made a sales call in Fort Worth. Suit, tie the whole shebang. Sit down in front of this Texan fool and the first thing he says, literally, is: Are you really a Yankee? I said: What? So he says I never met a real live Yankee. Are you really a Yankee? I got up and left. Figured if he thought someone from the North was a freak, I didn't have a chance of closing any business so I didn't say a word. Just got up and walked out.

Never liked anything about Texas after that.

No boat, back in the suds.
