10. No, but I grew up in Minnesota.
Remember the movie "Fargo"? Everyone I have ever met from South Dakota sounded like that.

12. I phone banked for Paul Tsongas in Minnesota
It took every ounce of self control (something I am obviously not endowed with in great quantities) to keep from laughing when I heard the "Fargo" accents from all of the Andersens, Hansens, Swensens, Swansons, and Samuelsons on the caucus attendee list.

See, we New Englanders do not talk funny...
