Oh good grief. Bangor is pronounced Bangor or Bangah not Banger.

It's a joke that you apparently didn't get.

Good point, AMM. "BANG-gah" is also an appropriate local pronunciation. But dropping an "ah" (arrrr, for those not from Maine) is not for the faint of heart (Haht).

I'd practice saying "Cahd-booahd Cah-ton" (cardboard carton) a couple of hundred times before tenatively trying it out.
