<br>Something in those first 25 suggestions must have struck a nerve - either that
<br>or ya'll are humor-deprived - "Ask if they've ever seen a UFO?????"

<br>  More how to annoy those Southenehs:
<br> 
<br>  5. Call all Southern men "boy."
<br>  6. When you hear a banjo, shout "Squeal like a pig, boy, squeal like a pig!"
<br>  7. When they begin a sentence with "why" even though they're not asking a
<br> question, respond to the "why" as if they were.
<br>  8. Don't let them continue their turn shooting pool aftering sinking a sloppy
<br> shot unless they called the ball in the pocket first.
<br>  9. Ask if they've ever seen a UFO.
<br>  10. If you're inviting them to a nice party, ask them not to wear white patent
<br> leather loafers.
<br>  11. Make the jukebox skip on The King, Lynyrd Skynyrd or Stevie Ray Vaughn.
<br>  12. When you meet a Southerner's cousin, wink and say, "Kinda cute, huh?"
<br> 
<br> 
<br>  (This reminds me of the comedian Jerry Clower who told a story about the city
<br> slicker who come up on a farmer planting corn. The rows were all wavy, jerkin
<br> this way and that, pretty much contour tilling with an emphasis on countour.
<br> 
<br>  The city slicker says, "Your rows are all crooked."
<br> 
<br>  Farmer says, "Yep."
<br> 
<br>  "Well, why in the world would you want to plant corn in crooked rows?"
<br> 
<br>  "You can plant just much corn in a crooked row as you can in a straight one."
<br> 
<br>  City slickers says,"Well, there's not much separating you from a jackass, is
<br> there?"
<br> 
<br>  "Nothin but a fence."
<br> 
<br>  In Jerry Clower's stories, the farmer or good ol' boy always represented the
<br> South and the city clicker always represented the North.)

<br>  On Sun, 22 Mar 1998, Daniel Long started a list to be called "Annoy Those
<br> Southenehs":
<br>    1.  Use "y'all" even when you're talking to only one person.
<br>    2.  Refer to mixed or female groups as "you guys".
<br> 
<br>  Bethany added:
<br> 
<br>  3. Ask if they want "white coffee."
<br>  4. Give all directions with reference only to north, south, east, and west
<br>  -- never mention landmarks.
