i'm from the NE as well, and hadn't heard of these things. I think the first quote was more of a family thing than a cultural thing. and i bet it is a cultural thing for MKAC, you know bc there are horses and beggars out there. MKAC's quote is interesting, and made me think of beggars can't be choosers. what is the exact meaning behind yours, mkac'?
