I remeber one time at this pizza place in El Segundo...
They had these huge maps of the NY subway system on the walls. I loved maps as a child and climbed up on a stool to get a better look, at which point the owner, obviously a New Yorker screamed, "Hey you little bastard, get down off that stool" then looked at my dad and said, "what the hell's wrong with you, letting the kid up on the stool..."
My dad (born and bred so cal native) just smiled at him and yelled out "EH?!?!? NU YAUK?!?!, YOU FROM NU YAUK?!?!? I'SE GOT SOME FRIENDS IN NUUUUU YAAAUUUUUUKKKKK!"
I didnt get the humor at the time, looking back, its pretty funny
