Funny stuff.
I was born in North Dakota and grew up in Minnesota and I heard it all the time. The worst is when someone would ask me where I lived. I'd tell them Minnesota and they would IMMEDIATELY say it back to me in that stereotypical, heavy, northern accent and then giggle to themselves like they'd just thought of the cleverest joke ever. It got to the point where after they did that I'd just stop to stare blankly at them and say "That's funny...considering I sounded nothing like that...".
