Welcome to the real world. You can't smack a Yankee and not expect him to smack back.

Well it just amazes me that a fun email about Southerners is considered a SMACK at a Yankee...and you, bless your heart, definetly highlight one of the biggest differences between us......WE don't walk around with a corncob stuck up our butt always looking for a fight.

As for '10 reasons yankeedom is better' your right I prolly wouldn't think it funny...I'd actually consider it a miracle that ya'll could think of 10, much less one 'good reason'.

Yankeedom........bwahahahahaha what the heck is that?

And you call yourself a real Southerner ?????

"Yankeedom" was a derogatory phrase coined in the late 1850's by Southern journalists. I used it as a self depricating joke. Way to go, by "not getting it".

You don't think that email was aimed at Yankees ? Who my friend do you think it was aimed at ????

As for having "a corncob stuck up our butt", I would caution you. It isn't the folks up North who are still whining about a War that ended 139 years ago. The reason you don't see an email titled "10 Reasons Why Yankeedom is Better" is that most Yankees are happy with who they are and what they have, there really isn't a reason to have to come up with a "we're better than you" list. That might have been funny when we were 10 years old, it's just kind of dumb now.

I am not interested in compiling a list of things that are better in the North than in the South. Both places have benefits and drawbacks. There are things I love about the South and things I love about the North. There are also things I detest in both places. Many of those things are the same for both.

Maybe you ought to get out a bit more. Relax and enjoy what America has to offer from all it's citizens. I hate to break it to you but good people are still good people, north or south of the Mason Dixon Line.

One of the best things about living is the South is the pace of life and the quality. We can take a joke, laugh at ourselves, and make fun of things. Southerners are probably the first to laugh at the "camaro on blocks" jokes. Humor is an essential part of the Southern culture.
