Knowing where you are is very important. This past week, a member of our church sent me a humorous e-mail about how to know if you are in the South. I thought I would share some of it with you...
You Know You Are In The South Because:
If it grows, it’ll stick ya. If it crawls, it’ll bite cha.
It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy!
‘Fix-in-to’ is one word. It means ‘I’m fixing to do that’.
Sweet Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you’re two.
You switch from heat to A/C in the same day.
All festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect, or animal.
You only own five spices: salt, pepper, Tony’s, Tobasco and ketchup.
The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but require 6 pages for local sports and gossip.
You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
Going to Wal-Mart is known as ‘off to Wally World’.
You describe the first cool snap as below 70 degrees.
You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.
Laugh a little today, it is good for you!
Loving and Leading,
Jeff Powell
