The northerners have fried their brains. Did you know 80% of southerners have central a/c while only 27% of northeasterners do? And they call us ignorant? And don't give me it doesn't get hot up there. It does too.

A woman with a true southern accent can have a man wrapped around her finger in no time flat, if she wants.

Oh, and a joke I heard this morning, just for you 8-)

What's worse than a male chauvenist pig?

A woman who won't do what she's told.

Southerners are more polite too (on a whole). And friendlier. Heck, if I didn't already live down here, I reckon I'd move here too. Poor yankees, they just want what we have, and are jealous of us. That's all it is.

That even includes the northerners of California.

We have air-conditioning, but most people don't.

We have two units, one upstairs and one downstairs. Yesterday, the upstairs unit broke. It was 87 degrees upstairs in the evening. That's hot!

I slept downstairs in the air conditioning.

IIRC, they drop dead like flies any time the temp approaches 100. Dumb yankees.

There are many parts of the Northeast where air conditioning in summer is completely unnecessary. You don't get anything close to the 90 degree, 90% humidity days you get a lot of places south of the IHOP-Waffle Hut line (er, I mean, the Mason-Dixon line)

Damn straight.

Ain't that true.

I am a New Yorker. I had a friend who moved up here from South Carolina and he had quite a culture shock. As he put it, "In NY you have to prove that you aren't an ax murderer before people will talk to you and in SC you have to prove you are an ax murderer before people WON'T talk to you."

Most new houses in NH are selling for over $475K and up and have central air. Most of the houses that don't were built anywhere from 250 and 100 years ago, and really, over my 45 years, there are only about 5 nights a year where I live (15 miles as the crow flies from the Atlantic) where it is hot enough to not sleep under a sheet or blanket. The past week however, it has been very humid due to the remnants of the hurricanes moving inland.

BTW, I know most houses in the south have central air but how hard can it be to fit an air conditioner through a cut hole in a trailer?
