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 isn'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 goes east and west, I-65
goes north and south. Pick one and leave.

5. So you have a $70,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000
combines and cotton pickers 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 ducks 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. We say "sir and ma'am", "please and thank you", "excuse me and I'm
sorry" when we are wrong or impolite. Do not make the mistake of
thinking it makes us weak. It's just good up-bringing.

12. 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.

13. 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!!

14. 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.

15. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers
and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

16. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it
frightens the fish, and aggravates the alligators.

17. 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 home for the holidays.

18. Don't think that since we talk slow, we think slow. You may be in
for a surprise.

19. 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.

20. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump, rap/crap
ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to
see your boxers! Refer back to #1!

A true Southerner will send this to at least 10 others.
:D [/b]

No kidding... I was in D.C. couple years ago visiting my Grandad, I was touring the "monument row" walked from Union station all the way down to the Lincoln Memorial. All along the way, just out of force of habit, as I was meeting people coming the opposite direction, I'd look them in the eye, smile and say "HI, how are you?" etc.

Didn't get many responses, but alot of quick look aways and half sneers.
I guess they figured if they acknowledged me, I'd just ask them for change or something. Or perhaps it was just a shock to most of them to have anyone greet them with something other than "gimme yo money bitch!!" :smt071
