"...you do what has to get done, even if that means long days and nights, because if you turn work away today, it may not be there next month."

At that rate, neither will you. Pity...

You would have to be a fool to eat a bagel in the south.
One would be equally foolish to order grits in NYC

[Freebird Forever]

Do I have a chance as a southern gentleman?

If you aspire to transform yourself into an antiquated caricature a la Rhett Butler, give it your best shot bubba.

That’s a show I’m sure the locals would enjoy.

Frankly Freebird, I don't give a damn.

As in, "Dont's youse dare grits your teeth at me!"

We also say "thank you", "you're welcome" , hold doors open, and help little old ladies across the street...............

And that fits in with what the researchers would expect, considering they attributed the aggression to a peculiar concept of "honor" that is no doubt foreign to them.

Ping!

[sweetliberty]

"They're democrats."

ROTFL! Good answer.

[sweetliberty]

"We don't give a DAMN how you do it up North."

Hehe....I have that one. I saw another one the other day that I really liked. It had the Confederate flag on the left and on the right it said:

.

"MY HERITAGE YOUR IGNORANCE"

Do you know where to get those????????

And don't forget this classic: My South

We have a little shop here near Harrison, Arkansas called the General's Mercantile. They have loads of southern stuff and a LOT of bumper stickers. As far as I know they don't have a website, but I found this. Delightful place to browse. It is run by a couple of Sons of Confederate Veterans.

[Howlin]

Sons of the Confederacy? Or is this something else???

When I finally found my great great great great great grandfather and mother, there was a beautiful plaque on their graves put there by the S of the C.......very impressive!

Thanks for the link!

[Howlin]

I am SO wrong, now that I think about it. The plaque was from the Sons of the American Revolution. My ggggg grandfather served with George Washington during the Revolution.

But I had MANY relatives that served the Confederacy!

[sweetliberty]

There is Daughters of the Confederacy and Sons of Confederate Veterans as far as I know.

This reminds me of the joke about the southerner that went to Harvard. His first day there he asked an upper-classman where the library was at. The upper-classman rudely pointed out that ending a sentence with a preposition was poor grammar. "Fine," said the southerner, "Do you know where the library is at, EXPLETIVE?"

[Trailerpark Badass]

That's because the south still lacks first class cities.

You lie! Why, just this afternoon I drove through the first class cities of Sugar Hill, Oakwood and Flowery Branch.

Maybe the problem lies with the premise of the original article that was posted that suggested that southerners are more agggressive and thin-skinned than their northern counterparts.

Don't be obtuse. Maybe the problem lies in the fact that your first post on this (good-natured) thread was all condescending and inappropriately contentious. Just like most Yankees.
