A
couple of days ago I was working (writing) in a Mickey D's when an OLD woman
ask how to exit the parking lot. So I pointed to the exit and
explained how to get to the road. Apparently I was not clear with
instructions and ended up repeating them 3 times.
After
a bit the woman was frustrated and asked if I was from MO. I replied
no, I'm from Georgia.
She
tells me that, that is even worst.
I
could not resist in asking why that was so. She told me that
everyone knew folks from the deep south was barefoot toothless hicks.
She went on to babble that her cousin had married MM, and was the
role model for RB. And that I acted as much a vagabond as he did.
Well
the employee that was all of 18 (maybe) wanted to know what a
vagabond was. I told her that the old lady was using a very archaic
word for gansta and was trying to insult me.
After
another exchange I told the woman that I thought it was better to be
from Georgia.
She
demanded to know why?
My
reply was, Everyone in MO goes about saying Show me, at least those
of us from Georgia can figure stuff out without someone holding our
hands.
I
left dodging a tossed Ice Tea.
