A black officer I worked with in Germany (certainly an officer and a gentleman) had a Master's Degree. He ALWAYS used the word "bidness" (as in "I'm a bidness man"), for business. It was the only word I ever heard him mispronounce. FWIW, it may have been a speech impediment. (He had a good sense of humor, and might have only been doing it for the laughs, but he never seemed to try to get it right).

You know you're from Alabama when someone tells you the Stones are playing in Tuscaloosa and you ask 'em how many points they're favored by.

Actually, Northern Alabamians might recognize the Stones, since they did record a record or two in Muscle Shoals (Fame Studios I believe).

Since I'm not a native Alabamian, I know this because they often brag of this fact.

You know you're in Alabama, when a native asks you if you want a banana and mayonaise sandwich for lunch. (Yuk).

How do we know that "toothpaste" was invented in Alabama?

Because if it was invented anywhere else, it would be called "teethpaste".

"teethpaste"

From my best recollection, that one's reserved for West Virginia. I think they have a copyright on it.(sarcasm)
