Of the Europeans Polled:

Southern - 87% (Probably the ONLY accent 5 out of 10 of them could correctly identify, period. :geek: )

New Yorker - 10% (Credit Satellite TV & the Sopranos)

Southwestern - 3% (Yo Quiero los Tacos y Enchiladas!)

every Pakistani cabbie must attend the University of Joisey to learn how to speak and get lost within a city block of his starting point. our economy would be in the doldrums with out all of the Joisey trained Indians to serve up those slurpees. and lest we not forget the Middle Eastern gas pump jockeys that take a pound of paint off of your car trying to put the nozzle in the gas tank door. Yes Art, i submit that the most influential accent in america comes from Nort Joisey.
