How To Behave In The South

[Cake]

Someone called me a Yankee the other day. I was genuinely upset. When can I head south?

Here in Indiana, we do things more like the south Except the fact that we call it a pop lol.

I lived in Jersey for a couple of years and when I would drive, I would let other drivers merge in in front of me. My friends would all say "Yep, you're from Texas. We don't do that here". It was good to finally get back home.

I agree its funny but so many things wrong or not true with this "how to behave in the south...to avoid a southern ass kicking".

9. And don't put sugar on your grits, or we'll kick your ass.

Guilty as charged in 1975. Army basic training, Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Thought it was Cream of Wheat and put milk and sugar on them. Boy did I learn a lesson that day. No ass kicking (physically) but never did that again.

I will have to remember all the "rules" because when I retire in 7 years, I'm moving my ass (unkicked, so far anyway) out of Nevada and to Texas...somewhere east (northeast or southeast) of the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. 10 acres of my own property where I'll build my "zombie proof" castle, a nice workshop and an 800 yard (minimum) shooting range.

Are ya tellin me thars a diffarence btween the way some folks speak? Shucks, I just woulda never guset thayt, bein from Kansas an all.
Them folks in Calfornya shure talk weird, with all those "ah, ya no", "duuudde", "it's the bomb, round here, we run away from "the bomb" those crazy folks run toward it" guess that's ok, darned thing never seems to go off"

Soda pop, used to get me in trouble, totally confused people when I moved to New Mexico, Coke is code for "If you would read the menu, you would know we don't have Coke, We have Pepsi".
