LOL! That is my fave Designing women moment! LOL!

I love Kentucky, but I wish I lived further south. It is a good thing my mama was born and raised in Memphis!!! My aunt and I are really close, she lived in Mobile (in the 18 zip code area I believe!). And we always talk about southern life! I told my boyfriend/fiancee I was supposed to be born a hundred years ago and in Alabama or Georgia, but he just smiles. He is a nice southern boy! His mama doesn't have any silver or own a China pattern, but you had better believe she raised that boy with manners and a work ethic! I haven't seen a man that works harder than him!
And women here realize our charm and how to use it, like a weapon. For instance, if I am having a review at work, or if I have something important, I put on the cutest skirts and tops the week before and after (mind you they are not showing any skin that is not appropriate at work!) and the day of I always wear the nices suit that has a skirt with it.... men can't say no to woman around here, and wearing a skirt reminds them that is just what we are.... why my last review I got the highest raise you can be given in your firsy year!
And women in the south don't like to hear NO, it isn't something men around here are supposed to say, unless, of course it is to help their daughters... my daddy told me no, and he hated doing it, but it was for my own protection.
And southern girls treat their daddys right.... the best advice I was given was the only man you can ever TRULY trust not to hurt you or make you cry is your daddy! God love him, he can do no wrong.

Yes, I love the south, it has loads of eccentricity! I mean where else do you find young girls (5 or 6) wanting to do beauty pageants and pick out a silver pattern? And where else do you find the more mature (60 and older) treated so well?
