And then?I was at a wedding in Atlanta many moons ago talking with an extremely attractive blond southern bell. Being at a wedding, I was hoping for the best as you might imagine.
We were talking about where people in the south went for a vacation and she said in the sweetest southern voice,
“Well, I used to luv to go to Hilton Head Sout Carolina, but it got rooned by all those gawd damn…..
Right then, in that instant, the hair on the back of my neck stood up as I realized that I was in the south and that they were far more racist than my hometown of Denver. I was sure that she was going to use the “n” word, and I really didn’t know how I was going to react to that word or how I was going to respond.
….Yankees.”
PHEW!!!
I said with a smile, “Well sweetheart, I’m a Yankee”
She said, “Nah, you are a Westerner, You people are great”
“Well what is a Yankee then?”
“Oh you know people from OHIOOH and New York and place like that.”
I thought about explaining the differences between the Midwest and the East Coast, but then I remembered the mission….
“I hate those bastards too.”
Carry on.
Don't leave me hanging!
Did you get the best ass I might imagine or not?
