My new hobby is going to my hometown newspaper and checking the obituaries.

20. You can check out, but you can't leave Lynn.
Mr Gray and I went looking for a new car today and the salesman we talked to grew up in West Lynn. First he told us he was from Boston. I can pick out a Lynn accent, so I asked him "oh yeah, what part of Boston is that?" He say "north of Boston." Fuck man, a dead give away to being a Lynner. I pushed him some more and he finally confessed to growing up in Lynn. The minute you "confess", the insanity comes out in both parties.
