If you read a story of a 60-year old firefighter who regularly made homophobic remarks toward neighbors, insulted children, and waved a chainsaw around while threatening to use it on people, where would you guess he's from? Mississippi? Alabama? South Carolina? Arkansas, perhaps?
You'd be wrong. His name is Ernest Perrone, and he's from Peabody, Massachusetts.
(In truth, if all of that had taken place in the South it wouldn't qualify as news, now would it? At least that's what most Yankees would say.)
That's why they're called Massholes ...
