Posted: June 18, 2004 3:50 pm
A man who was born, reared, and educated in New York took a job in
Mississippi after college. He liked Mississippi so much that he stayed,
married,and had a family.When his widowed father retired, he invited
him to move to a nice retirement community near him. His father, tired
of the cold New York winters, decided to give it a try. After a month of
living in the retirement community, he and his son were having dinner
together and the son asked, "Dad, how do you likeliving in the South
after all those years in New York?"
"Well, son," he replied. "I like it a lot. The people are really friendly
and everyone seems to have a nickname. For instance, Tom is called
"The Mechanic" by everyone in spite of the fact that it has been over
20 years since he has worked on a car.
Bill has not practiced medicine for at least 15 years, but everyone
still calls him "Doc."
"So, Dad, do you have a nickname?"
"Yes, I do. Even though I have not had sex in the
10 years since your mother died, everyone refers to
me as that "f**** Yankee."
