Slight diversion;

To an Englishman a Yankee is an American.

To an American a Yankee is a Northerner.

To a Northerner a Yankee is a New Englander.

To a New Englander a Yankee is a Vermonter.

To a Vermonter a Yankee is someone who eats pie for breakfast.


Someone (no clue) told me this once...and its one of the few things I remember at my olde age.

Worse, I don't "get" the joke. Is it somehow funny?
