Many people visiting Maine "from away" don't know how to take us native rural Mainers, and we like to have fun with that 
I know a guy from NJ who's been coming up for bear hunting season for years, helping out and hunting with a local guide. We were at a houndsman bbq when we met his wife, having come to Maine for the first time. I asked her what she though of the people up here that she had met(it was obvious she was a "city girl"). She said that she thought we were "nice". This was an opportunity to have fun and get that dumbfounded reaction I so enjoy getting...I told her that most people coming here find us to be "rugged individualists" and that was just a polite way of saying they thought we were a##holes but liked us anyway.....You can imaging the look on her face-PRICELESS! Maybe we are, or maybe I am, but we are helpful and kind to others. You'd like us too, as long as you can handle be teased and picked on a little. It builds character
