The North has coffee houses, the South has Waffle Houses.
The North has dating services, the South has family reunions.
The North has switchblade knives, the South has Lee Press-on Nails.
The North has double last names, the South has double first names.
The North has Indy car races, the South has stock car races.
The North has Cream of Wheat, the South has grits.
The North has green salads, the South has collard greens.
The North has lobsters, the South has crawdads.
The North has the rust belt, the South has the Bible Belt..
In the South - If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in
a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along shortly.
Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. This is what they
live for.
Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same
store....do not buy food at this store - under any circumstances.

In the South, smiling at a stranger is polite. In the North, it's grounds for a restraining order.

That, sadly, is all too true.

I moved to Harlem from Kentucky last year, and in the first few months several people threatened to kill me for such things as:
1) pulling their toddler out from the path of a truck barreling down the road cuz the dumb bitch couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her own crotchspawn
2) helping an old lady down the subway stairs
3) not giving bums cigarrettes
4) not giving bums money
5) being white (sort of) and making eye contact with someone who wasn't
and people wonder why i don't like living in Harlem...

I remember a bus ride up to the Cloisters and watching the driver of the bus telling a woman to keep her kid's head inside the window of the bus. After all there was other traffic and poles that might damage her none-to-precious little brats head.
I remember being lost once in NYC and being the only white person driving down H
Harlem River Drive to get to the United Nations... That was the time I saw the Apollo theater and the kids washing windshields (whether you wanted it or not) didn't know where the UN was located on Manhattan. . .

I am not from the South, but I found New York to be surprizingly freindly.
When I didn't have exact change for the bus on Sunday morning, people opened
their purses and wallets to help me make change before the next bus got there.
Of course, this friendliness was in constrast to Boston where I was working at the time. Talk about 'reserved'. I sometimes wondered how they got together long enough to breed.

I'm still working on it after a couple of years. How can one get in a tizzy about the truth?

Kristoff, some people can't handle the truth. Just look at some of the stuff I have posted.

Too bad the the North won the war, maybe you'd be better off as two seperate countries, perhaps the South should have another go, it might be luckier next time round. Of coarse the UN would have to step in and make sure the was no unneccessary bloodshed and a peaceable transition of power. Fix up what got f---ed up in 1860!!!!
