The “Rules of the South” are as follows!!!
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked.
3. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a
pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going
to
get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
4 They are cattle. That's why they smell to you. They smell like
money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-40 and I - 10 go east and
west,
I-65, I-75, I-85 and I - 95 go north and south. Pick one.
5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000
combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
6. So every person in the south waves. It's called being friendly.
Try to understand the concept.
7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in,
we
WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to
your
ear at the time.
8. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi &
caviar?
It's available at the corner bait shop.
9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a
religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women,
regardless
of age.
11. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak.
Or
you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats,
vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup!
Oh,
yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you
eat...
IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!
13. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet and
served
over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how
to
shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
14. College and High School Football is as important here as the
Lakers
and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards --
it
spooks the fish.
16. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities,
Universities, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a
love
for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come for the
holidays.
17. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.
So
don't mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.
18. The south is the greatest!! If you are from the south you are
part
of the best people in the USA!!

Hey, mind your own business. We love our chili but we don't force it or its
name on anybody else.

Like I said, mind your own business or we will start to call your stuff
"bean soup."

REAL Chili doesn't get polluted with a bunch of veggies being dumped into
it.
Beef and spices only. [Habaneros and Jalapenos are considered spices once
they're dried and ground.]

Thanks David, being a Southerner in heart and as a full timer spending a
good bit of time in the S. I agree with you. Some of the best people I have
ever met. Though you won't find many southerners that claim FL, having
visited that state this year I can understand why. I had to forward this on
to my Daughter and SIL that just moved from Alabama after retiring out of
the AF. I know they will enjoy it.

Darn, guess I'm a true southerner because:
1. I live in southern New Hamster, most of the time. Anybody want to
buy a politician? We have some of the best money can buy!
2. Spent 28 years in the Air Force mostly stationed in the south (South
Dakota, Southeast Asia, southern Michigan, etc.)
3. Like southern food (grease, grits & gravy).
4. First lesson in Pilot Training was how to talk (Yayess, Ah fly Jayetts).
