And you said that I speak funny.:jerkit::jerkit::D

1. A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.

2. There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in the
south.

3. There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in the
south.

4. If it grows, it'll stickya. If it crawls, it'll bite cha .

5. 'Oncet' and 'Twicet' are words.

6. It is not a shopping cart, it's a buggy.

7. 'Jaw-P?' means 'Did y'all go to the bathroom?

8. People actually grow and eat okra.

9.. 'Fixinto' is one word.

10. There is no such thing as 'lunch.' There is only dinner and then
there is supper.

11. Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking
it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar.

12. Backwards and forwards means, 'I know everything about you.'

13. The word 'jeet' is actually a phrase meaning, 'Did you eat?'

14. You don't have to wear a watch, because it doesn't matter what time it is. You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

15. You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH EM.

16. 'No. Jew?' is a common response to the question,' Did you bring any
beer?'

17. You measure distance in minutes (sometimes hours).

18. You switch from heat to A/C in the same day.

19. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit,
vegetable, grain, insect or animal.

20. You know what a 'DAWG' is.

21. You carry jumper cables in your car --- for your OWN car.

22. You only own four spices: salt, pepper, Tabasco and ketchup.

23. The local papers cover national and international news on one page,
but require 6 pages for local gossip and high school

25. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit 'a bit warm.'

26. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and
Christmas.

27. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past time known as 'goin'
Wal-Martin' or 'off to Wally World.'

28. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good
stew weather.

29. Fried catfish is the other white meat.

30. We don't need no dang driver's Ed. If our mama says we can
drive, we can drive, dag-nabbit.

31. If you understand these jokes, forward them to your Southern
friends and those who just wish they were from the south.

32. OR pass to a Yankee
 
Y'all do talk funny up there.

It's been so cold down here I saw a Yankee wearing a coat and didn't say crap about "this ain't cold, NOW back up in (insert stupid yankee town where they're from) it gets cold."

There are 2 types of yankees, yankess and damn yankees... damn yankees buy a house in your neighborhood.

I think 6 pages is a bit light on the high school football. My little weekly paper has at least 12 pages devoted to 3 6A (largest classificiation in state) 2 3A and a couple of private school football teams. Of course one of the 6A schools is the 3peat 6A state champion and the other is a 2 in a row state champs in private school. Then you have to add in our religion, SEC football and your sports page is about 3444 pages long. Our sports talk shows talk about Alabama and the other school Auburn football about 365 days a year, they will mention the other sports, usually baseball upon occasion. The only time Alabama Basketball is mentioned is to demand the firing of Godfreid the Bama coach and the fact that his wife has threatened to whoop that tail of the talk show host.

One of the funny things about the heat, bugs and poisonous plants came up in conversation when I was in the Army. Our unit had an exchange program with the Brits, they'd send 2 NCOs and we'd send 2 NCOs for a couple of weeks every year. So it's about 105 or so and Top is having a meeting, one of the Brits starts piping off about some march or whatever and it was like 80 degrees, we just gave him this "are you f@#$#$ kidding me look?" :confused: He goes off on this 20 minute diatribe that ended with, "Your !@#$! bugs scream all night, they bite all the time, you're plants tried to kill Chris (the other Brit that wandered into poison sumac) and it's hotter than the damn sun, I'm GLAD you have this place!!!!" Oh yeah, during the War of 1812 our unit chased them and almost killed them to a man on their way to New Orleans. :D

I love it down here, only place I'd live besides here would be Wyoming. I love my sweet tea, grits, deer hunting and Southern ladies. I love it that people still wave to each other in our trucks when we pass, I love it that I'm expected to hold a door open for a lady or older couple, I love Friday and Saturday football. I love that being poor and hard working counts for more than rich and lazy, a man's word is his bond and that I can whip someone's tail and drink a beer with them. I love that refusing someone's offer of food or beer is considered fighting words.

Heck, I'm a Japanese redneck and proud!!!! :D

Hey Will:

I can remember speaking to IG for the first-time and I could not understand a word he said. They do speak funny. He reminded me of the captain on sponge-bob square pants. Now that was funny. ---------------:D:foot:;)

Bubba!!! You should listen to yourself.:eek::eek: I still can't understand you till this day. HEHEHEHEHE!!!
 
Yep I did understand.... when I was at Infantry school we had an instructor giving a radio class, and he kept on saying turn on the par switch.. and we couldn't find the par switch and so finally after he cursed us for a bit for being stupid, someone finally asked how to spell par.... "P-O-W-E-R !@#!@# par switch, you!@$$!@$!@$!@#$'s"

After lunch he came into class and the other instructor wrote the following on the blackboard.

Mr Piggs
Mr n Piggs
Mr 2 Piggs
Mr n Piggs, Mr Hawgs

After he finished throwing chairs we had a bad 2 hours.... :(

When we were in Kosovo, my Commander's Southern accent was so thick that they had someone translate his English into English that the translators could understand. Probably why I did most of his press conferences. :(
