19. You know whether another Alabamian is from southern, middle, or northern Alabama as soon as you see the first two digits on their license plate. Sorority girls in Alabama know from where you hail and who can vouch for you there - before you even get out of your car on your first date. They may or may not be interested in your car, but they are CERTAINLY interested in those first two license plate digits.
If you aren't from the "right" area and you want a respectable wife (see my profile for hypothetical), then you'd better get yourself a customized car tag to even make it through the first date.
The rest of the country has "sackers" not "baggers" at grocery stores, so what's so bad about calling them "sacks"?!
Hey, isn't Sax headquartered in Alabama?!
