Tips to keep in mind when in "Dixie"
-
Don't ridicule our Southern manners. We say sir and ma'am. We hold doors open for others. We offer
our seats to old folks because such things are expected of civilized people. Behave yourselves around our sweet little old
grannies or you'll find out what that cane they have is for, just like we did the first time we "forgot our raisins" around
them!
-
Be careful what ya say to a southern girl. Most of them have brother's and daddy's that will come
looking for ya. If they find ya, ya might want to run.
-
If you don't have a southern drawl, don't pretend you do. We hate being mocked. Just be yourself,
we'll probably like ya more.
-
If you run your vehicle into a ditch on one of our dirt roads, don't worry about it. Just be patient,
and some "good ol boys" will come by in a 4 wheel drive and pull you out. Don't try to help them, just stay out their way
and tell them "thank ya".
-
We take the "Good Book" seriously. When it says, "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for tooth" well,
that explains why we still have the death penalty.
-
Most of us don't believe we should waste taxpayers hard earned money on "child molestors" and "rapeists".
Just arrest 'em and hand 'em over to "the mob" outside the jail/couthouse which consists of "momma", "daddy", "gramps", "granny"
"auntie" "uncle" and their friends, relatives and neighbors. Gurantee, that person wouldn't end up back in our neighborhood
or anyone else's for that matter.
-
If the speed limit sign says 55, don't drive 30! If something is wrong with your car, just pull over.
Some good folk will stop and help ya out.
-
And just so ya know, grits is a hot cereal similar to oatmeal that is made with ground corn. Tastes
much better with butter, salt and pepper than with milk and sugar.
-
Saw mill gravy is a gravy made with ground sausage in it and served with biscuits. Some folks also
refer to it as Sausage Gravy. Same thing, diffrent name, good food.
