Come on, you really don't mean that....

Look at all the great things you get from North of the Mason Dixon line...

Maple syrup from Maine
Cheese from Wisconsin
The Yankees from NY
Harley Davidson's from PA
Horseless carriages (cars) from Detroit
Oil from Alaska
Tomatoes from California
Movies from Hollywood
Potatoes from Idaho
...and so many other things


and to think, you guys gave us Nascar. One hell of a bargain if you ask me.

:24:

------------->Ungrateful is what they call it.

 

[COOL_BREEZE2]

Negative, ghostrider.

Here, in the South, Coke can refer to any brand of soda.

Again, that's just plain weird.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

And you also have terms like Uncle Dad.... it still doesn't make it right.
