Diff between northern and souther fairy tales

[cracked]

heard this from my dad who heard it at work.

A northern fairy tale begins as: "Once upon a time..."

A southern fairy tale begins as: "Yall ain't gonna beleive this (insert synonym for poop that starts with an S)..."

thought it was funny and is actually not far from true, i live in redneckville, i would know

for those not from the usa, this probably doesnt make much sense...

I resemble that comment....... wait a sec, that doesn't sound quite right. Ah forget it....

Never been Pinnacle, but I used to live rather close to Murhpy, NC. Must say it could be a strange place, but most the people were nice.

although i would not call myself a redneck or hick, i am what you would call i southerner. i even have the accent down quite well, or "purdy damn good" as i would say.

side topic: have you ever noticed that when you (or i do anyway) write you use different word choice than if you were to speak aloud? also, if i am reading to myself, i pronounce words different in my mind that if i were to speak them. example: oil. when reading this word to myself i pronounce it in my mind as "oyul" but when speaking it i say "ol". weird huh?

well I admit, in typing I tend to say "DOH" a lot when I make a mistake...
well... I say it in real life too

I was just down in raleigh/cary a few months ago, not a bad area

Nobody I talked to had accents though.. its no fair I wanted to make fun of them!

I have an australian friend, I make fun of her accent.. and of course her reply "I dont have an accent, we all talk like this down here"

I'm not a hick.. I'm a redneck.. there's a difference

vass, just go about 100 miles west from raleigh and you will be able to make fun all you want, lots of southern accents here

i tend to make fun of people with accents from around the wisconsin area. nothing against them, they just sound funny to me. new york accents i dont really care for, but like i said, nothing against them.

If we are going for classifications here, I am a southern gentlemen for the majority part. I believe most would probably agree with my analysis of myself, assuming they actually met me in persion. In all honesty, my online personality probably bares little resemblance to my real-life personality.

And yes, I have the stereotypical classical southern accent as well....

Hmm.. now see, I would've thought the difference in the Northern fairy tale was I'd be wearking a ski parka and ear muffs sipping a hot chocolate on the deck of a lodge, and in the Southern fairy tale, I'd be sippin' a Mint Julep in a big-hooped dress on a front porch...

go figure eh

[vass0922]

had no clue what Mint Julep was
