Hi Y'all!
In my paying job I talk with a lot of people (almost entirely men) from all over Canada and the USA. No, I don't work at, for-a-hot-time-call . . . I have a respectable job.
Anywho, like I said, I mostly talk to guys because for some reason there are a lot of guy engineers and not a lot of female engineers.
So for several weeks now I have been doing a little research and I have come to a conclusion.
Oh my gosh!
Southern men are really real gentlemen.
They are sooooo sweet, polite, kind . . . whatever you want to call it. I have called nearly a hundred engineers in the southern states and each one is very kind. You can't fake that stuff. They are the real deal.
I have to salute those men (and their mothers for raising polite gentlemen) in Texas and Lousiana that I've talked to, they make my day.
Today, I talked with a guy from Grand Coteau, LA. (The above picture is from this little town).
The gentlemen charmed my thick half wool and half cotton socks (which kinda itch) right off my feet.
I almost fainted (I was channeling Scarlett or Carol Burnett . . .hmmm not sure).
When I looked up the town (no I wasn't being a stalker I just looked it up because of the time zone thing) I fell madly in love with this place. Some day I am headed for Louisiana.
Now I am very sorry if I offend anyone but the next comment may not be nice, the majority of the men I talked with from, Cleveland, Illinois, and Pennsylvania weren't that nice. They were short, to the point, and made me very nervous. There was a physicist from Penn State who was really sweet but in general I think the men of Cleveland, Illinois, and Pennsylvania need to take a vacation to Grand Coteau.

I don't know nothin' bout birthin' babies but I sure do know a nice man when I talk to him.
My hat is tipped to Southern Men.

I agree! The south, generally speaking, is a culture all to itself. People seem to be into the harmonious process of interacting as opposed to just barging on through to the end point.
ReplyDeleteI've heard it said that people from the south can tell you to go to hell in such a way as to make you actually look forward to the trip!

I love the way you write. Makes me miss you. Cheers to those Southern boys. Without question, they are true charmers. It's in their blood.
