    perhaps we should mention for our international collegues the
    most lasting effect of the Mason-Dixon survey, which is the Mason-Dixon
    Line.
    
    If you order the American concoction Iced Tea north of the Line,
    it will come without sugar.  If you order south of the Line, it
    will come with vastly too much sugar!
