Yankee = English
« on: July 16, 2009, 07:42:24 PM »
Does anyone know what the inside joke is with the Yankee vs English lines on the train ride?

We were at the park on Wed, July 14th.  T

Don't know of any inside jokes.  They used to say Indians, but no doubt someone thought someone would be offended.  Now they say Yankees.  What exactly is the line in question?

The conductor asked everyone on the train to say English everytime the word Yankees was said during the skit.  From the first time the Bolins used the word Yankees the crowd would say English.  Their has to be an inside joke with it.

I have ridden the train 18 times this year.  Have never had this happen when I was riding....  Must be something new...

I am guessing that it was and inside joke with the group that was doing the skit.
