I met this stunning beauty from South Carolina. She was so fine that I didn’t care what she said, I was in love with her.

When I asked where she was from she said with a honeysuckle voice, Sshasstuh. I said Shasta”. She said that is close but it it Sshaastuh. Eventually by getting her to spell it out I figured that she was from Chester, South Carolina.

I am insulted. It said I was 10% Yankee. Not sure what to tell the family. *sigh*

Strongly suspect that the beertap was inserted into the plumbing and the name stuck.
