Rules of the South... - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

falcongtho3 · 08-08-2007, 10:51 PM

The 'Rules of the South' are as follows!!!

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Turn your cap right, your head isn't crooked.

3. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a

pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're

going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

4. hey are cattle. That's why they smell to you. They smell like

money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-40 goes east and west,

I-65 goes north and south. Pick one.

5. So you have a $70,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000

cotton strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

6. So every person in the south waves. It's called being friendly.

Try to understand the concept.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we

WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up

to your ear at the time.

8. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar?

It's available at the corner bait shop.

9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a

religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women,

regardless of age.

11. We say "sir and ma'am", "please and thank you", "excuse me and

I'm sorry" when we are wrong or impolite. Do not make the mistake

of thinking it makes us weak. It's just good up-bringing.

12. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you

can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.

13. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats,

vegetables, and breads We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup!

Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat...

IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!

14. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet and served

over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute,

know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

15. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and

the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

16. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it frightens the fish, and aggravates the alligators.

17. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities ,

Universities, and Vo-techs.

18. Don't think that since we talk slow, we think slow. You may be in for a surprise.

19. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.

So don't mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.

20. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump stuff ain't music,

anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your

boxers! Refer back to #1

100% true....people up here talk all about it...so i went and tried it.....apparantly they arent smart enough to spell "spaghetti" so they had to shorten it to "chili" lol

MachGirl04 · 08-09-2007, 12:29 AM

Wait a minute. i'm a freakin' yankee. I say it isn't chili unless it has frijoles, and some habeneros or jalapenos. It does not involve ketchup, or salt, or pepper. We don't have freakin' spaghetti in it. That ain't natural!

you have to go pretty far south on the yankee border to get that.

hawk · 08-09-2007, 01:46 AM

ain't chile if it does have frijoles...

03mach69mach · 08-09-2007, 07:32 AM

Great list, forgot one.

When a horn on a car honks, it's because it's someone who knows you and is saying "Hey", not "Hey, Get the H#$@ out of the way"!

I had to teach my kids this when we went up North a couple of years ago. Sitting at a light and didn't get a .003 reaction time and had a young chicky chick lay on the horn, to which my kids said, "Dad, who is that girl who honked at you? Wow, someone from our town way up here!" That's when we had the Yankee talk

HAEG · 08-09-2007, 07:45 AM

Heading south or even west for a northeasternor is tuff. I was never so pissed off when a nice lady stopped in the middle of the road to let me into traffic. I was throwing a fit, I mean you can't just put all that kindness on me at once. After a week I was getting used to it, then when heading home, once I hit the PA turnpike I knew I was back home again. I welcome the first middle finger shot at me and some old lady yelling FU...

That is Funny! My sister lives west of Cleveland in Avon Lake Ohio and when we visit it almost seems like we are in another country. However when we travel anywhere in the south, we feel right at home.

That always made me laugh my Uncle was born and raised in Philly (Philadelphia) and married my Aunt who was from Western PA I mean basically in Ohio. My aunt and uncle lived in Pittsburgh so when we would visit sometimes we'd also visit my Aunt's family and my Uncle would always say "Watch THIS!" and wave to random people around their town and man I though that was so funny because if you did that around here everyone would be like

"where did that guy escape from" lol not just smile and wave back. Now that I have grown older and more mature I still think it was funny just like my uncle did before me sorry guys just can't get used to it.
