23 ) MISSISSIPPI MISS

By alan walker - www.sealetter.com
In 1993, I happened to be cruising onboard the ss Norway the week they were holding the "Miss Tropic Isle" beauty contest. I fought the urge to run screaming off the ship as I walked up the gangway behind -- er, well -- a number of similarly-clad and similarly-shaped behinds of the contestants.


Needless to say, this contest and its participants created some interesting times onboard for those of us who haven't seen a size one since we were tiny tots and whose assets aren't comprised of man-made materials.



During one of the "contestant parades", where each young lady had to say her name and where she was from, one petite young thing got up to the mike and in a sweet little Southern drawl said, "My name is Peggy Sue Beauregard and I'm from...". After a moment's hesitation, she looked down at the sash across her chest and said, "Mississippi".
