While you guys are straining at a gnat, everywhere I go I see cans of insect killer while Maine is being invaded by flatlanders. Those black flies are the only thing that keeps Maine from being taken over by Massholes.
We escaped in 1820, and they have been buying Maine back one house lot at a time EVER SINCE. With the black flies all dead, the flood gates will be open to anyone who wants to invade us and enjoy our -30 degree winters!
