The "hello" version took me by surprise the first time I heard it. I went to south GA with a customer to visit a paper mill. Every time one of the mill workers walked by, they'd say "Hey". No exclamation. Just "hey". I'm looking around for some one sneaking up behind me or something. 10 minutes later, I was Hey-ing back. Very contageous!

That was also the same trip some #@!!@%% talked me into eating deep fried gizzards. That and okra are where I draw the line. Although I am very fond of deep fried sweet pickles!!

If you like deep fried sweet pickles you would like deep fried okra.

The problem with okra is letting it get too big, it get's woody and slimey.

When they are small and tender and fried quickly they are very good.

I am not a gizzard fan either.
