Bobby: [Old lady is describing a cucumber she'd grown and asks the other guests to guess how big it was] Tell me, how big?
Old lady at Biddiford's: Twelve and a half inches long. And I measured it around and it was ten and a half around. That was the darnedest lookin' cucumber you ever did see!
Years ago I heard a tale about how in these small sleepy New England towns, nobody locks their car doors, except in later summer. The reason being if you don't lock your car doors then, you might come back to find your back seat full of zucchini.
