Alright, this is an email forward I got. I’ve taken out some stuff, but left others in for whatever reason. Some of this is funny, and some is serious You decide.

Without further adieu: Ways to Avoid a Good southern Ass Whoopin…

• Don’t fake a Southern accent. This will incite a riot, and you will get your ass kicked.
  
• Don’t order filet mignon or pasta primavera at Waffle House. It’s just a diner. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know. If you confuse them, they’ll kick your ass.
  
• We are fully aware of how high the humidity is, so shut up. Just spend your money and get the hell out of here, or we’ll kick your ass.
  
• Don’t order a bottle of pop or a can of soda down here. Down here it’s called a Coke. Nobody gives a flying rat’s ass whether it’s Pepsi, RC, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up or whatever…it’s still a Coke. Accept it. Doing otherwise can lead to an ass kicking.
  
• We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you (e.g.Welty, Williams, Faulkner). We are also better educated and generally a lot nicer. Don’t refer to us as a bunch of hillbillies or we’ll kick your ass.
  
• We have plenty of business sense (e.g., Fred Smith of Fed Ex, Sam Walton, Oprah, Turner Broadcasting, MTV, Netscape). Naturally, we do, sometimes, have small lapses in judgment, if you keep reminding us of the fact we will kick your ass.
  
• Don’t ridicule our Southern manners. We say sir and ma’am. We hold doors open for others. We offer our seats to old folks because such things are expected of civilized people. Behave yourselves around our sweet little gray-haired grandmothers or they’ll kick some manners into your ass just like they did ours.

That’s it…hope you got something out of it
