(annoyed look)

When a long-time friend (best man at my wedding) sends me an unsolicited link to yet another website demeaning Southerners... this time portraying an ostensible trailer-park beauty contest in Mississippi. Along with the fake buck-teeth sales. Grr. Just because I live in California nowadays doesn't mean that I've somehow become other than who and what I was when he met me... and he ought to know that that stuff annoys me, after this long. Shucks, that's probably *why* he sends me that stuff, just to get a rise...

Heh. If he keeps dissing Mississippi and making bad-teeth jokes, I ought to unleash a certain sweetie on Rob to wreak her fury... that'd make his hair curl even more.

Actually, I have been known on occasion to use the misconception to disarm someone that assumes my regional affiliations has an effect on my intelligence. (I know it is bad manners, but sometimes it it too tempting...)

Ah, yes, the Sam Ervin "I'm just a country lawyer" approach... highly useful tactic, IMO it is often better to be initially underestimated or dismissed as of little consequence. Until the trap is sprung...
