"How long have you lived here?"

"About 40 years" he replied.

"Great, so you know all about the community" they exclaimed. "What is this neighborhood like?"

The old man, with a puzzling look on his face "answered": "my, that is an interesting question. What is your current neighborhood like?"

The couple went on about the gossip, the crazy neighbors, not getting along, keeping to themselves, egos, and the like.

The old man said to them: "Well, that is exactly what you will find here!". They were thankful for the honest response and kept on with their search.

The couple told about the amazing environment and their need to relocate for work. "The neighbors were pleasant, it felt like family, we all shared and had fun together".

The old man looked at them with a welcoming smile and said "Well, that is exactly what you will find here!".
