Aunt Old Timer: "You go to Ganges central town in the summertime and ther'll be the rednecks wearing the shirts that say "If it's called tourist season why can't we shoot at em" and those are the ones who've only been here 2 or 3 years!"

Billy Bob: "Yea being here even 2 or 3 years gives you a pretty bad case of Salt Spring Syndrome"
