FRankly, I like being a "Southren Gennleman," and would have it no other way.
My wives (one ex and one current!) and my lady FRiends seem to prefer my "Southren Gennleman" persona.
So do I, and I try mightily to remain in that place, though, FRom time to time, I am sorely tempted (and have done so, albeit rarely), to briefly junk the concept and tend to business when encountering rude and obnoxious people.
