Hot 'Lanta

OK folks, we're a headed to Atlanta, the hub of the modern south. I'm not really sure what that means since most folks that live in Atlanta are from somewhere else.

But southern culture is alive and well, at least on MARTA. And if you don't understand that statement, then you just ain't from around here!

Got me to thinking about our southern humor. We are good at laughing at ourselves - we don't like it for shit if someone else laughs at us, but we can do it all day long to us'ns.

For instance:

Why are Driver Education classes only taught on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the South? Because on Tuesday and Thursday, the car is used by the Sex Education class.

Or:

What do you call a Southern Farmer with a sheep under his arm? A pimp!

What about:

What make a zoo in the South unique? On the plaque in front of the cage, there is a picture of the animal, a description of the animal and his habitat as well as a recipe for how to cook it.

And Finally:

What is the difference between a regular fairy tale and a southern fairy tale? The regular one begins with "Once upon a time......." and the southern one starts out "Ya'll ain't gonna believe this shit........."

So as I take my beloved toward the apex of culture in our land, I will keep an eye out for anything of interest and report back later.

I'll also be carrying a gun, like all Southern Gentlemen should!

Peace.
