What about the four guys named Bubba in the pickup truck that show up shortly after you drive your rental car into a ditch and winch you out and refuse any compensation?

The name's not Bubba, but I've pulled people out of ditches numerous times. That's why you drive a truck/4x4.

And a TRUE Southerner gives directions like this, 'Drive a fer piece down the road, keep going past my cousin Billy Bob's house [insert lengthy discussion of Billy Bob, his family, their relations etc], then turn left just past where the old Wilkes place USED to be, ...'

Glad to meet you "not Bubba"!  :-)

That pickup truck line is usually included in these "all things Southern" threads somewhere.

Funny thing is, it actually happened to me.  Well, I was in Wisconsin at the time but it could've been Alabama!

This is especially true after you say, "I am a newcomer in these here parts, can you tell how to get to the lake?"

ROTFLMAO! So true! You've described my grandmother to a T!
