Mintor 1.7

[Del Rykert]

You have me laughing hard John. My folks are living proof that southern people do tolerate Yankees and at times even accept Yankees. They moved off their sailboat of 27 years and now live in Morehead City, NC. They were from western NY.

  Where you are from really does not seem to be important here as mastering
  the proper attitude. They are naturalizing immigrants every day.

  It really speeds up the process if you understand the two syllable words
  like "Ya-Us" (yes) and "ME-Yun" (men). It is best that you listen quite a
  while before attempting to reproduce the pronunciation. It is really
  offensive if executed poorly.

  I have been politely informed on several occasions that Southerners speak
  slowly and listen slower. And that I am to consider that any time I speak.
  I am not sure I should share the secret but I have also been told that the
  main reason for the Southern talk is because the Yankees find it so
  annoying.

  I have figured out on my own that their main use for me is to attend
  meetings where there will be other coarse and crass Yankees to assure that
  their points will be made. It works.

  In time I expect to be fully assimilated and a fresh Yankee will be needed
  to serve that function. I have no proof, but I think the honeysuckle flowers
  have something to do with it!

  Did you know that the city of Cary, NC is really an acronym?

  It stands for "Containment Area for Relocated Yankees"!

  Rodeo (I'm not making that up) do they count as a southerner or a Yankee?
  Some of the folks from south NJ have a hard time talking with the "soprano"
  folks from north joisey.........
