three from my own experience.

1) Call ahead for fast food if you want to be able to drive through
2) Realize that the Civil War wasn't so long ago (go see Gone with the
Wind with Southerners -- it is like the Rocky Horror Picture Show in
that the crowd boos at General Sherman, for example)
3) It is time to move back North when your kids start to talk, yelling
from the next room "Ah need hay-elp" and turning many single syllable
words into multi.
4) Even well-educated colleagues say "Might could" as in "I maat kud
hep you with that, Don"

I sounds like you had an unpleasant experience.

Gen. Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson -
"my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in
bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about
that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is
the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave. "

Gen. Robert Edward Lee -
"I tremble for our country when I hear of confidence expressed
in me. I know too well my weakness, that our only hope is in God." -
Lee in a letter to his wife in 1863

Hey it's the South

I'm working on mine. My goals may be different.

It denigrates the professionalism of our colleagues. But
business and social conversation should be different.

Oh Man!
I remember when life used to be like that. We always walked the ladies home
and then walked all the way back again.
Now we have lady fire chiefs in the volunteer brigades and it is not unknown
to hear "get out of the way I'm coming through" on the radio as she gets
frustrated at her truck being held up by some guy who reckons a 40 degree
slope may just be a bit iffy. Just the other day as I was loading
fertiliser the blokes had vanished but the lady in the office came out and
threw 50KL bags up to me on the ute.

50KL is a bloody big bag, Pete. Are you sure you don't mean 50Kg? That's
big enough too, but not even close to 50 Kilolitres.

If it ain't broke, fix it until it is....

I've never been to the Southern states of the US - being British (English?
lets not start that argument!) - I've not ventured that far yet (I have
been to Florida, but I know enough to know that that doesn't count!.)

However, having worked with a few southerners over the years, it does lead
me to believe by the volume that they all speak that there maybe some
wholesale genetic deafness across the Southern States! <G>
