Real Cape Codders...

...don't go over the bridge. They go under it.

...don't ready the New York Times or join the Book of the Month Club. However, they can usually be relied on for four-year-old copies of Readers' Digest.

...don't ask "What's your sign?" If they have a sign, it's a painted cedar shingle.

...don't live in waterfront or waterview homes. They don't like to constantly see where they work.

...don't drive four-wheel vehicles. A hundred pound bag of sand in the trunk suffices.

...love bumper stickers. They keep the trunk closed and the fenders on.

...only participate in three seasons: fishing, hunting and mating. In that order.

...know enough to keep snails off their plate.

...never swim in salt water north of the Florida/Georgia State line.

...don't wear Tevas or Birkenstocks. Flip flops are the preferred footware.
