I liked this one! :-) I work in a place that has people from all over the world coming through, and the vast majority tell me they can not place my accent to save their lives. Normally they tell me I just don't have one, and it leaves them baffled. I chalk it up to having grown up in different parts of Dixie (hence the 30%) only to turn around and get a degree in languages when I went to college. Here's my profile. :-)

In retrospect, the one thing I can't figure out -- 55 + 30 + 10 = 95. Where'd the other five percent go??
