The is *no such thing* as Iced Tea in the South ;-)  There is Tea. Tea
comes over ice, and ranges from very sweet to coma-inducing. If you are
from somewhere else, you can order, and sometimes actually receive, Unsweet
Tea. If you are from somewhere *really* far away, you can order Hot Tea,
and you get a coffee cup of hot water and a Liptons tea bag.

In larger metro areas, where most of the restaurants offer both Tea and
Unsweet Tea, some folks call the first kind 'Sweet Tea', but you don't have
to.

For our next lesson, we'll talk about Skiing. There is no such thing as
Water Skiing in the South. There is Skiing, and Snow Skiing. If you tell
somebody you went skiing over the weekend, they automatically assume that
there was a boat involved, and some rope, and probably some dogs as well
<g>.
