The South Strikes back


A Southerner is having his breakfast of coffee, grits, biscuits and
jam, when a Northerner, chewing obnoxiously on gum, sits down next
to him.

The Southerner ignores the Northerner who, nevertheless, starts a
conversation.
Northerner: "When you Southern people eat bread, do you eat the whole
slice?"

Southerner: "Yep."

Northerner: (After blowing a huge bubble) "We don't. Up North, we
only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it,
then transform them into biscuits and send them to the South." The
Northerner has a smirk on his face. The Southerner listens in silence.

The Northerner persists: "Do you eat jam with biscuits?"
Southerner: "Yep."

Northerner: (Cracking and smacking his gum and chuckling) "We don't.
Up North, after we eat fruit for breakfast, we put all the peels,
seeds, and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into
jam, and, then, send it down South."

Then the Southerner asks, "Y'all have sex up North?"

Northerner: "Why, of course, we do." And, he pops another big bubble.

Southerner: "And what do y'all do with the condoms once ya use'em?

Northerner: "We throw them away, of course."

Southerner: "We don't. Down South, we put 'em in a jar, melt 'em
down into bubble gum, and sell 'em to Yankees."

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859

Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.

Offered some grits to a yankee once, said he'd try just one.

It's OVER??? Why doesn't someone TELL ME these things? Here my (Virginia and Oklahoma) relatives have been looking down their noses at me for 30 years for consorting with the enemy... (Hubby's from Boston) gunsmilie.gif


--------------------
Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

In polite company, we call it "The Late Unpleasantness"; otherwise it's "The War Between the States".

Thank goodness we haven't had any of those issues since we kicked the french out of NS, which admittedly was a s****y thing to do looking back.

*in best simpering southern belle voice* Whell Ah do declare! The war is not near ovah, take my word fah it! Down heah in the Southern Star State of Alabama its fought just about every day.

Seriously though, its a different world down here in the southlands, and since I've lived in both locations I can say that with ease and confidence. I learned about the War of Northern Aggression and the Civil War. For some reason I think that it depends on where you lived as to what the war was about. Ask any southerner what the war was about and they'll tell you "States Rights to govern as they saw fit." Ask someone in the north, and it was all about slavery. Its odd, really...

Guess Lincoln forgot about that last part. And I can't find anything in the Constitution that says "once you're in, you can't get out". Seems to me the Confederacy had a perfect right to secede, despite Lincoln's aim to "preserve the Union".

Which is what the war was about really but in the re-write of history it was about slavery and not the preservation of the union.

What I find amazing is that Southerners just can't let go of something that happened 150 years ago. What can't y'all get over it?

Sure learn from it, but don't let it go on dwelling on it. I don't understand why so much energy is still put into it.
