Maine and Massachusetts Get Into An Argument - 1822

We pick things up in the middle of their fight.

Massachusetts: ...Look, I came first, so I'm taking it. It’s better suited for me anyway.

Maine: That's ridiculous.  It works just as well for me as it does for you.  Plus, I'm much, much bigger.  Have you seen my forests?  HUGE! 

MA: Oh, is that how we're deciding things now?  Is your dad going to beat up my dad next?

ME: No, I was just saying...

MA: Well I'm just saying that the port of Boston, just last year, took into over $1,200,000 in textiles and grains.  That's 22% of the nation’s total economy.  What did you bring in?  Some lobsters?

ME: That's uncalled for.

MA: Look.  I was a state before you.  I make more money than you.  I have a larger population.  I'm taking it! 

ME: But I...

MA: NO!  It's mine!  MINE!  Got it? 

Silence

ME: Fine.  I guess I'll just go by ME then...
