Tips for Yankees moving South:
(especially to my home state of Mississippi)
2. Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean we can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows.
3. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store.
4. There is nothing sillier than a Northerner imitating a southern accent.
5. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, is you?"
7. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.
8. Be advised: The "He needed killin'" defense is valid here.
9. If there is the slightest chance of ANY acumulation of snow, you are required to go to the local grocery store. It does not matter if you need anything or not, it is just something you're supposed to do.
10. Florida is not considered a southern state. There are far more Yankees than Southerners living there.
