I just had to defend the sacred honor of the Sons of the South.
Quote from a post:
"I'm too smart to be the governor of a large Southern state."
-Richard "Kinky" Friedman
Thank Heaven, that We Southerners are not smart enough to move to the wonderful frigid lands north of the Mason-Dixon line...replete with cities overcrowded with brilliant minds and an outrageous cost of living (my po' little old 150-thousand dollar shack would cost over a million in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut...a large pack of gum in the ignorant South is 99 cents...$1.40 in NY...and it has a very hectic and way too fast lifestyle for me...I don't want to spend 2-3 hours a day in the subway or train.
In my very humble opinion, Kinky..."Ignorance is bliss".
But for those people, who like living in the North, that is great. It is just not my cup of moonshine.
