This has taken me forever to get
BUT
ben Stein went to University of Pennsylvania in the late 60's and then
went
on to practice bond law.
i imagine that to propser in either, he had to adapt a Main Line accent.
The reason he sounds so funny and odd is because it is a put on accent to
begin with, which eventually became his own...
reminds of the time Chuck made me bite down a pencil and talk while
clutching it in my jaw

I cannot believe it
It only seems odd because it is coming from Ben Stein instead of a native
of
Main Line Philadelphia
but that is exactly what he is doing. I am astonished at how long it took
me to
pinpoint it given how long I associated with people with this accent
