Per the data I was able to find, Maine is also at 5%.

What is even happening?
Actually, now that you mention it, I think that's right (the 5.something% is the current MA income tax, right?).
I think MA state sales tax is just a flat 5%. Is the meal (restaurant?) tax in Maine different from the sales tax in Maine? Maybe that's where the 5.something figure is coming from?
Seriously, unless you have to have LL Bean (and I'm not sure if they tax on catalog sales), you're better off hitting Wrentham if you want Outlet style shopping.The only time I shop the Kittery outlets is if I am in York anyhow, and then, only if we need something specific that is easier to find there, than at a mall.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think guys should wear cups all the time. To compensate for my lack of self-control.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Been randomly kicking guys in the groin again, have we? You're gonna get a reputation.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Big, honking mitt: good. Foul tips, wild pitches, backswings: bad. I vote cups for catchers.
Yeah, it's the foul tips that get you. Think of the angle on a foul tip that shoots down under your glove, hits the dirt and bounces back up. If you're wearing a cup, that would ring your bell. (As they used to say when the cups were metal - with a rubber edge where it touched your skin.)
I never got whacked in the balls while catching, though I might've caught a knee in there while going over a runner while turning a double play.
Estate Taxes and Groin Protection. I enjoy the concurrent discussion dynamic.

You know what's more fun? Punching. I favour an overhand right, but I've heard good things about the uppercut.
I cop to a groinseeker rep.
Your head might not be safe around me, but your head is.

Sales Tax in the Maritimes is 15%, it can be applied on every level of purchase and there are exemptions on SFA.

Is that PST and GST? IIRC, Quebec makes it up to 15.75 or something.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The master instructor at my TKD school loves kicking people in the groin, which he makes no bones about. He claims it's because he's too old to kick people in the head, but to hear him tell stories from his times on the tournament circuit it's always been one of his favorite targets.
The worst part is you'll fight him knowing this, be sure to try and guard your groin and he'll still nail you.

It's HST - Harmonized Sales Tax.
