“Ok, Folks, time for a RoadSpoke Road Test… and now the Fast Facts.


FAST FACT numero uno….In Rhode Island, there are some very famous summer residents .


Fast Fact numero duo….Rhode Islanders also have a peculiar accent.


Fast Fact numero tres...  in Rhode Island, they enforce some peculiar laws. For instance, it is considered a legal offense to throw pickle juice on a trolley. ​

That seems reasonable enough right?…Just slightly absurd… ​

Fast Fact numero quatro….You may not sell toothpaste and a toothbrush to the same customer on a Sunday.


Fast Fact numero cinquo…You cannot smoke a pipe after sunset. And, of course, it is illegal to wear transparent clothing. ​

Rhode Islanders think they are well travelled. On the other hand, The state is so small, they consider any drive that takes more than 10 minutes a "Road Trip".


Final Fast Fact: If you mix a Boston accent with Italian-American slang you pretty much get the jumble of confusion that is the Rhode Island accent. So don’t be alarmed if you’re an outsider and someone calls a water fountain a “bubblah.”  Plus, Rhode Islanders make up for the omission of Rs by adding Rs on the end of words they technically don’t belong in: “Hey, why don’t you drink from that bubblah? It’s a wicked good idear…”


One name that may resonate well with a Rhode Island accent is Taylah Swift. ​

​Yup, you hoid right. The beautiful and talented singah songwritah has a huge summa home in Rhode Island. Get off at the upcoming Westerly Exit if you want to seer it. It’s in the exclusive summah resort of Watch Hill.


Now for the Test. In Rhode Island, can you throw pickle juice on a trolley?  Well?  If you said no, you’d be correct. Go to the head of the cah.”
