I remember my boss pulling me aside before I was going down to Naples for a BSE "Presidents Council" award event and warning me about the guys like McCoy, Clendenin and the other BellSouth brass: "Now ... be careful. They talk slow and seem folksy, but they're really pretty sharp."
No sheyatt? LOL. My boss was fearful I'd spill some bean bag that would reinforce a prevailing opinion that my company, and he as SVP, were bad investments. I love the South - two customers of mine visiting the Twin Cities from the Richmond office of the Virginia DOT and I had a few Saturday beers back in the mid 90s and went over to the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul to steal back the Virginia confederate battleflag a Minnesota regimen took from a Gettysburg mutual slaughter - and has never given back to the Virginians. We snuck around drunk after closing not knowing the flag was three floors underground in a hermetically sealed vault. LOL! Some guy that looked like Gus the Fireman from Leave it to Beaver escorted us out. Bad asses on the prowl ... ;^)
Darn! The secret's out. LOL
