Northern Boy - Southern Girl:
The Liberal Northerner's son graduated from college and was offered a good job, but it was in the Deep South.
Dad, a liberal Democrat, was worried about his son going off to such a strange land and he warned him to avoid entanglements with southern women.
"They can't cook the kind of food we northerners eat, they won't keep the house clean, they don't like sex, and if you marry one, she'll call you a darn Yankee the rest of your life. "
After a few months, the son telephoned Dad and told him he had just met a wonderful Southern girl, and thought he was in love with her.
Dad repeated his warnings about Southern women and their shortcomings.
After another couple of months, the son called Dad and told him he and his Southern girl were getting married. Dad just moaned and groaned and repeated his warnings.
Two more months go by and son telephones Dad......"Dad, you were wrong. My wife is a great cook, keeps the house neat as a pin, and she absolutely loves sex."
Dad responded, "Well, what about the fourth thing -- her calling you a darn Yankee?"
"Oh, we reached an agreement on that. She won't call me a darn Yankee, and I won't call her the N word.

Ya know, it was kind of funny when I was living in the South and dating southern belles. We just never seemed to be living on the same planet! Seemed very odd at the time. Now a decade later, I'm wondering if maybe they were bee keepers :grin:
Now Blue, it maybe that you are the one from another planet.

She had her world view and you have yours. And no, it's not the same world.
