A Yankee

To Foreigners, a Yankee is an American.

To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner.

To Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner.

To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander.

To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter.

And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast.

I know Foreigners and American Southerners think calling someone a Yankee is an insult, but how is Yankee Ingenuity and being able to deal and solve problems on your own an insult? I'm proud to be a Yankee and love it when someone calls me one.
