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.

^ Being a Yankee through-in-through (up to the New Englander part of this quote) I have to laugh whenever a Southerner is called a Yankee. Their look of disgust and anger is............ priceless.
