Damn Yankees
I have spent a fair amount of time traveling to the south this year. As a result I have learned some things about Dixie and the people down there. Being the helpful person I am I have decided to share some tips for communicating with the locals. As an educated Yankee it is surprisingly easy to say things to offend our Southern brethren so I have compiled a short list of things to not say while traveling south of the Mason Dixon.
- “If Dale Earnhardt was so good, how come he was only 3?”
- “Yes, I will have some grits.” Not offensive just good advice
- Pointing to a Rebel flag and asking “Is that what y’all got for finishing second in the Civil War?
- Asking any officer of the law if he is Roscoe or Enos.
- Saying “The only thing more boring than college football is NASCAR.”
- “I had the best BBQ while I was in Boston.
- Charlie Daniels and Jack Daniels are not related. Don’t ask.
This is by no means a complete list, but hopefully it will keep you out of trouble for a little while
