It is a far far better pun than I have come up with in awhile, but nothing to lose your head over.

The pun was actually nothing to spit at; that would have been great expectorations.

In Columbus, mid-way in the State of Ohio, we have some of the Kentucky/West Virginia influence and some of the Yankee, too. I've been influenced myself, saying things like "bah" for "bye" and "hey" for "hi".
When I moved here in 1978, I had never seen so many pick-up trucks on the roads. Just didn't drive those in Youngstown unless you were in town from the farm.
In high school I had a chemistry teacher (am I allowed to tell her real name? It was pretty funny!) who was from the Deep South (forget which state). Instead of making two syllables out of some words, she simply left the dipthong out completely! Thus she said "boil" more like "bowl" and "oil" like "old" without a "d" on the end. Weird!

You know what's really sad is, I was expecting a bad pun at the end of that paragraph, and when it didn't appear I was disappointed. I should see a doctor or something.

Vanguard:
Many years ago I had a tavern in WV for a VERY long year. I would rather live under a bridge than go through that again.
Anyway, one night a guy came into the tavern, ordered a beer, and asked, "Tayud, y'all got bowlegs?"
I looked down and said, "No, they're about as straight as anyone else's." Took about a minute for me to figure out he meant those boiled eggs that are preserved in a beet-juice based pickle.
The fatal blow to my tavern career came when I had to testify in a murder trial about statements that I had heard in the tavern. After word got around that I had violated the sanctity of bartender confidentiality people just stayed away in droves.
Welcome aboard! And disregard those guys over there who think they're behind the curtain.
