You callin me a joke?!?
Actually it is interesting living in NY now. Aparently I look italian.... or Jewish cause Ben is a common jewish name?... I dunno, but anyway so many people around here are only one or two generations removed from their immigrant ancestors, so they ask me "what are you?" figuring I'll say Italian or Irish or whatever. So I just say I'm a Vermonter
Or "lots of things". Much easier than explaining.
