No kidding. 1976, I was a Civil Air Patrol cadet, down at the Cadet Officers School at Maxwell AFB, Alabama. One girl in our flight had an accent so thick, that some people couldn’t understand her.

Oddly enough, me, the kid from Pennsylvania, was the only one who could reliably “translate” for her. . . .

Well, remember what James Carville said about Pennsylvania: Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and Alabama in the middle.

(May not have that word-for-word but that was the gist.)
