Being from the upper midwest, I understand most people in other parts of the country think we talk too fast.  Or maybe they should see it from our viewpoint, "don't take all day, boy!  Spit it out!"  But we do have our fun with the names of our towns and cities, get someone from out of state and try to figure out which town they're looking for. 

Some people just naturally have problems with real American names.  I don't have any problems with names like Oconomowok, or Manitowok, or even Menomonee Falls.  Isn't every town that way?
