Makes sense

This makes complete sense. Aren't ya'll related to each other down there? :H

I keed. I keed. I meet people from all over out here in Vegas, and I love people from the South. They always seem to have the best manners, and I noticed they don't cuss much either.

Sweet tea is like a religion in the south.

Lived in Texas for 10 years. I found the people in the south to be the most gracious, mannerly people. My kids still live there. Thanks for the post y'all!
