OMG!!!  You are a riot!  I know exactly what you mean.  

There was this older couple that have moved down here from the Boston area and bought a little Mom & Pop convenience store.  On the day of their grand opening, I went in and asked for some of ICE.  The woman looked at me in a perplexed way, and said, "I'm terribly sorry, but we do not sell THAT here!"  After much confusion and discussion, she figured out that I wanted I-C-E and not A-S-S!!!  I thought I was gonna fall out on the floor!  he he he (still makes me giggle)

Ya, naw, Kel, it's a gud thang thut we'uns dawnt tiahpe tha way we all talk 'n Tin ah c.  Else, we'ud prolly jes cunfuze evawon!

  Try being short, a woman, blonde and having a southern accent in a town full of displaced New Yorkers. 

  "She couldn't possibly have a brain, could she?"

  When I first moved to Florida, I never heard of a bagel, and once ventured to say to someone that where I come from, a bagel is a small huntin' dog.  

  I asked for a light once, and the guy said, "a lot of what?"

  What's my point?  I don't have one.  I can cuss the boy out and he hasn't a freakin' clue what I'm saying.  

  And Tennessee DOES have:
  a) Dollywood
  b) Grand Ole Opry
  c) Elvis 
  d) THE VOLS!!!!
  e) Ruby Falls
  f) Great Smokey Mountains and National Park
  What comes after F?
