Rules for making it in the South

All of us Southerners already know this. This is a fair warning to all
Yankees (northerners who visit the South) or Damn Yankees (northerners
who come South and stay). ((Also note, Texas is not located in the
South - it is in the Southwest, which is diff-ernt))

1. Don't order a steak at the Waffle House. They serve breakfast
24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know how.

2. Don't laugh at folks' names. Merleen, Bodie, Luther Ray, Tammy,
MariBeth and Inez have been known to whip a man's ass for less than
that.

3. Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda - this can lead to a
beating. Down here it's called Coke, even if you want a Pepsi.

4. Southern women don't fancy to smart mouth Yankees. Just remember,
they all have brothers and daddies with knives (and guns).

5. Don't show allegiances to any other school in football other than an
ACC or SEC team. All the others are a bunch of candy asses who
play Wyoming every week.

6. Don't call us a bunch of Hillbillies. Most of us are better educated
than you and a whole lot nicer to boot. (Not to mention, better
lookin')

7. Yes, we know the humidity is high, just quit bitching, spend your money
and go home.

8. No, the state symbol of NC is not the orange and white highway barrel.
This road construction is pissing us off too.

9. 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 meant for
you to do.

10. Don't try to talk with a Southern accent if you don't have one.
Nothing makes us madder than a Southern wannabe.

11. Don't try to tell everybody here how much better it was back home.
If you don't like it here, get your sorry ass back home!

12. We don't play no hockey or non of them other sissy northern games,
so don't be asking about no scores, cause we just don't care.

If you follow these 12 rules you just might make it without getting hurt.
