ADVICE TO NORTHERNERS MOVING SOUTH *Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed on how to use it shortly. *Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean Southerners can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows. *If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four-wheel pick-up with a 12-pack of beer and 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. *You can ask Southerners for directions, but unless you already know the positions of key hills, trees and rocks, you're better off trying to find it yourself. *Remember: Y'all is singular. All y'all is plural. All y'all's is plural possessive. *Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?" *Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't understand you, either. *The first Southern expression to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "big ol", as in "big ol truck", or "big ol boy". "Fixin'", as in "I'm fixin' to go to the store", is 2nd. And "Y'all" is 3rd. I hope ya'll are fixin' to have a big ole' laugh!! :

Yup! Nope! Thanks! LMAO! : : Here's one JUST for BPP,lol ! An Alabama Farmer was headed into town for some supplies. As he reached a bridge, he saw a man standing on the rail fixin' to jump!! He got out of his truck and yelled at the man, "Hey Buddy, don't jump,Think of your Family!!". The man replied, "I don't have ANY Family left alive!!". The Farmer said, "Think about God!!". The man said, "I've been a life-long Atheist!" The Farmer said, "Think of the Honor of Robert E. Lee, and Southern Gentlemen!". The man said, "Who??" The Farmer said, "Jump, Damn Yankee, jump!!!" : :
