Hi all,

One of my favorite bits from "Designing Women" (back in the olden days when
I used to watch TV) is too good not to share. I'm paraphrasing as it comes
from memory (and censoring it a bit, too, just in case it may offend). By
the way, my ancestry is both significantly Northern and Southern so I'm not
passing any judgements:

A Northern lady and a Southern lady were sitting on a bus. The Southern
lady said to the Northern lady, "Where are y'all from?"

The Northern lady said to the Southern lady, "From a place where we do not
end our sentences with prepositions."

The Southern lady said to the Northern lady, "Where are y'all from, B****?"
