Heh heh heh ...

reminds me of when I lived in West Virginia 20 years ago.

I was talking with a friend and he used the word (phonetically) pee-in.

I asked him what did he say, and he repeated that he had used a pee-in.

I had to ask again if he was saying pin or pen, and he said 'pen' (but it sounded like pee-in)

I asked him to pronounce P.E.N. and he said 'pee-in' ... OK ... pronounce P.I.N. and he said 'pee-in'.

I told him to my ear, they both sounded the same ... how do you know the difference?

He replied, "One's a stick pee-in an' th'other's an eenk pee-in"

Never forgot that.
