To give you an idea of what to expect [from the language spoken in the
Boston area], we turn to noted citizen and part-time MBTA bus driver
Harry ("High-Gear") Harrison, for a testimonial on the relative
advantages of the Massachusetts turnpike over alternate roads:

	The pike shuah is fast, but geez,
	it is expensive.  You get on by the
	rivvuh theyuh, ya know, neah
	Cambridge, and take it out to
	route one-twenny-eight, and
	it'll costya the bettuh paht of a 
	dollah.  And at rush houah, espe-
	cially on Frideez, the cahs some-
	times back up cleah to Hahvuhd
	Squeyuh.  I guess ya haffta take
	it if yaw headed faw New Yawk
	uh Hahtfuhd aw sump'm, but if
	yaw goin to Concuhd aw nawth
	to New Hampshuh aw some
	place like that, I'm shuah you
	could find a bettuh way.
