The Resume

Why Plymouth, Massachusetts might be annoying:

    Plymouth gets all the press, but Jamestown, Virginia, beat it by 13 years as the first successful English colony in America.
    The Pilgrims were heading for the mouth of the Hudson River in New York but wound up off course.
    There is no evidence the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock.
    Plymouth Rock broke in two during an attempt to move it (1774).
    For several years, the colony was placed under communal rule, with settlers forced to surrender their private supplies for the general welfare. (That's right: The Pilgrims were damn Commies!)

Why Plymouth, Massachusetts might not be annoying:

    The Pilgrims stayed in Plymouth rather than continue south partly because they were out of booze. (The Mayflower log noted, 'Victuals most spent, especially our beer.')
    After landing in Plymouth, the Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact, the first written set of laws in colonial America.
    It was the site of the first Thanksgiving (1621).
