some random guest caught it though.
Which was not you.
My dear sweet only-Yankee-that-is-good-and-gentlemanly.
speaking of Yankees--
my mother was in Charleston somewhere, and a woman heard her speaking and said real meanly, "Where you from?" (hard core drawl)
And my mom said "Arizona"
And the woman said "OH! Arizona! That's a nice place to be from" (again, hard core drawl)
and patted her on the back.
Certain joys to the Yankee exemption...
Alternately, my uncle, who moved to GA when he was about 22, will tell anyone that calls him a Yankee, "Yank my doodle it's a dandy!"
