I had one of these proverbial old ladies going off on me. She asked what part of Scotland my famly was from. I replied "Weehawken" (the town of my birth in New Jersey. She then asked "Is that in the Highlands?" I replied "Yes, on the very top of the Palisades." (the cliffs running parallel to the Hudson river). She nodded and went away.
