1) Don't order filet mignon or pasta primavera at Waffle House. It's

just a diner. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something

they know. If you confuse them, they'll kick your butt.

2) Don't laugh at our Southern names (Merleen, Bodie, Luther

Ray, Tammy Lynn, Darla Beth, Scooter, Billy Joe, Sissy, Clovis, etc.). Or we

will just have to kick your butt.

3) Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda down here. Down here

it's called Coke. Nobody gives a flying **** whether it's Pepsi, RC, Dr.

Pepper, 7-Up or whatever-it's still a Coke. Accept it. Doing otherwise can

lead to an butt kicking.

4) We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you

(e.g., Welty, Williams, Faulkner). We are also better educated and

generally a lot nicer. Don't refer to us as a bunch of hillbillies, or we'll kick your butt.

5) We have plenty of business sense (e.g., Fred Smith of Fed Ex,

Turner Broadcasting, MTV, Netscape). Naturally, we do,

sometimes, have small lapses in judgment (e.g., Carter, Edwards, Duke, Clinton).

We don't care if you think we are dumb. We are not dumb enough to let someone move to our state

in order to run for the Senate. If someone tried to do that, we would kick their butt.

6) Don't laugh at our Civil War monuments. If Lee had listened to

Longstreet and flanked Meade at Gettysburg instead of sending Pickett up

the middle, you'd be paying taxes to Richmond instead of Washington. If you

visit Stone Mountain and complain about the carving, we'll kick your butt.

7) We are fully aware of how high the humidity is, so shut the hell

up. Just spend your money and get the hell out of here, or we'll kick your butt.

8) Don't order wheat toast at Cracker Barrel. Everyone will

instantly know that you're a Yankee. Eat your biscuits like God

intended-with gravy. And don't put sugar on your grits, or we'll kick your butt.

9) Don't fake a Southern accent. This will incite a riot, and you

will get your butt kicked.

10) Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we

know better. Many of us have visited Northern dungholes like Detroit,

Chicago, and DC, and we have the scars to prove it. If you don't like it

here, Delta is ready when you are. Move your butt on home before it gets

kicked.

11) Yes, we know how to speak proper English. We talk this way

because we don't want to sound like you. We don't care if you don't

understand what we are saying. All other Southerners understand what we are

saying, and that's all that matters. Now, go away and leave us alone, or

we'll kick your butt.

12) Don't complain that the South is dirty and polluted. None of our

lakes or rivers have caught fire recently. If you whine about our scenic

beauty, we'll kick your butt all the way back to Boston Harbor.

13) 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 gray-haired grandmothers or they'll kick some manners into your butt

just like they did ours.

14) So you think we're quaint or losers because most of us live in

the countryside? That's because we have enough sense to not live in filthy,

smelly, crime-infested cesspools like New York or Baltimore. Make fun of

our fresh air, and we'll kick your butt

15) Last, but not least, DO NOT DARE to come down here and tell us

how to cook barbecue. This will get your butt shot (right after it is

kicked). You're lucky we let you come down here at all. Criticize our

barbecue, and you will go home in a pine box....Minus your butt.

How true!

As a footnote, I had two high level government visitors (FBI) from DC that came to see me last Wednesday in preparation for a conference we will be hosting for them later this year. The both remarked how kind and respectful people, total strangers no less, were to them during their time here in Charleston. They were asked numerous times if they needed anything, any directions, restaurant recommendations, etc. They were floored beyond belief and were rather taken aback with the friendliness. Just the way it is down south.

I have traveled a fair amount over this country and plan to do more when I retire soon. The morale to the story is that if all people would treat each other with the respect and dignity that is common down south due to it's traditions, we would see it all over this land. And our Creator would bless this great country beyond all comprehension. Something to think about! And it starts with each one of us. And I live that way and have for many years.

Dignity, honor and respect for each other. There is no substitute for it.
 
You missed a big one that is rarely seen in the North. The Southerners have more repsect for the deceased. Up here, the traffic keeps on rolling in the opposite lanes. Down there, if you don't pull over and remove your hat out of respect, the Police will kick your butt.
 
Wow sounds like that "Southern Hospitality" was put to the test. Just what the hell are "grits" other than "Farina" anyway? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
