My little brother lives in DC.

Love the area.

Welcome back.

And you work for uncle Sam?

Many Americans have uncles named Sam.

So, is the Name Sam really popular, or is this a redneck thing? (though, in the latter case I would suspect it's Uncle-Daddy Sam...

It's a defensive mechanism. The current head of state nauseates me, so even though my job falls under the executive branch, I prefer the more abstract "Uncle Sam" as the description of who I work for.

I'm a Californian, but I went to college in Vermont, and summer camp in Maine. Quite loved it. Used to have family friends near Torrington.
