As in 'Bless them'? Always a good one... Always loved the Southern hospitality.... good people, and always friendly, despite not always understanding my accent! I must write a blog about my experience in Spencer, TN, one of these days.

I may have told this before, but I'll tell it again. It was my mother's favorite joke.
A Southern woman takes her first trip to New York City, where she is invited to a high society soiree. She is seated next to the hostess, and turns to say, "Hi! Where y'all from?" The high society matron sniffs, and says, "I come from a place where one does not end a sentence witha preposition." The Southern belle frowns a bit, and then says, "I'm sorry. Where y'all from..............bitch."
