    Thanks, Sarah!

    One little point in this interesting and insightful story especially caught my attention:
    "City people tend to pretend they're smarter than they are, to get credit for things, but in rural areas people often play dumb and pretend they're dumber than they are, 'cause then you can go like 'Officer, I had no idea...' (laughter)".

    In my experience, that's true, but underappreciated by city folk. If a guy in bib overalls and no shirt, in an unpaved used-car lot surrounded by woods, tells you "I'm just an old country boy and don't know nuthin 'bout motors, but I'd let this purty thing go for just ___ dollars", run away!
