A gentle old Mainer was sitting on his Piazza, rocking and smoking his pipe. His new neighbor came to the old man and asked "What's it like around here"? Old man says, "Well, what was it like where you came from?" New neighbor says "Nice town, friendly people, good place to live." Old man says "Well, you'll find it's just like that around here too."

A few days later, another new neighbor came to the old man and said, "What kind of place is this town anyway."? Old man says, "What was it like where you came from?" This new neighbor says, "It really sucked, town full of no good bastards, I hated it."! Old guy says, "Well, I'm afraid you'll find it just the same here."
