Greek Laser of Death - Archimedes

Quote: Never ask a man if he comes from Yorkshire; if he does, his accent will give him away before you ask and, should he keep silence (a feat impossible to most Yorkshiremen) you will have his whippet as evidence. If he does not, why offer such an outrageous degree of gratuitous offence?"

Your original, attributed to Canon Smyth, has also been applied to Texas. I think your man plagiarised it.
