This is what a I
call a damn Yankee.

Give me a break....us damn Yankees secure our furling after every use....we
have storms with 70 mph straight line winds that shred gennies right off the
furler if they're not tied up....those are just plain dumb people...

I would not say anyone is a damn Yankee unless they
1- move to the South
2- screw something up through their own laziness or stupidity
3- announce that it is all because us Southerners don't understand

or

3 (alternate) cuss out a Southerner who is trying to help (in my case
out of self interest, sure).

In other words, if you secure your roller furler properly then you can't
be a damn Yankee. Sorry

As for Yankees moving to the South, I don't like it but I don't blame
them. I have plenty of Yankee friends.... I prefer good Yankees to those
few southerners who are stupid & mean.

I don't think I've met a Southerner that was stupid and
mean. I have to admit as a group, they rate about the
best in the US.

It certainly explains the traffic problems. And why so many restaurants
have given up serving sweet tea.

Thanks. I am a Southerner and am proud of it. Cultural differences are
being erased in this country, partly because of mass media and partly
because of everybody moving around so much.

There certainly are mean-spirited and/or stupid and/or dishonest
Sotherners, just like among any other people... we try to weed them out
early though Some cultural anthropologists studying the matter have
identified a number of characteristics of Southerners, the main two are
generosity and sense of honor. This doesn't necessarily mean that
Southerners are more honest or have better families, just that we get
PO'd if you insult them!

Speaking of which, this guy is a hoot... genuine PhD and Southerner...
used to write a column for the local paper until it was bought up by a
Yankee franchise...
