Fair
warning to all Yankees
1. Be very careful what you say to Southern women.. Just remember, they all have brothers and daddys.2. .Don't order a bottle of pop. Down here even Pepsi is called Co Cola.
3. Waffle Houses serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Don't order no big steak.
4. We know the humidity is high, just quit belly aching, spend your money and go home.
5. No, the state symbol of Louisiana is not the orange and white highway barrel. This road construction is aggravating us too
6. Most of us are more literate than you (See: Welty, Williams, Faulkner, et al), better educated and a whole lot nicer to boot.
7. We've got plenty of common sense, too. (See: MTV, Netscape, Turner Broadcasting, WorldCom, etc) Not that we can't act silly (See: Clinton, Carter, et al). But that's none of your business. They weren't raised that way.
8. Don't go to the Cracker Barrel and order toast. If you do this everyone will know you're from Ohio. Just eat the biscuits like God intended.
9. .Don't try to talk with a southern accent if you don't have one. Nothing makes us madder than a Southern wannabe. (see: Dan Ackroyd, Driving Miss Daisy).
10. We don't play lacrosse or any of those other sissy northern games, so don't be asking about those scores, cause we just don't care.
11. Most of us know how to speak proper English. We talk like we often do because we want to. It's kinda like playing Jazz, you have to know how to do it right.
12. By ALL means, do not try to tell us how to Bar B Que. This could cost you your work visa. You're mighty lucky we're letting you stay down here anyway, don't push your luck!
13. Finally, if someone mentions moonshine, for pete's sake don't look up trying to see it.
Now if they mention just "moon"..well that's another whole story altogether...
