Given to me by a bookcrosser friend who knows I live in that bastion of southern charm, South Carolina. I actually did grow up north of the Mason Dixon Line, so this will be a refreshing trip up north, where the speech is faster and the vowels are shorter.
Reminds me of the time, back when Cokes were 10 cents and I put my dime in the machine for one. When it came out, the bottle was sealed, but was only half full. When I went to the store owner, he looked at it, puffed on his pipe and said," Well...you must have only put in a nickel."
I guess it reminds me of that story because it happened up north and I had South Carolina plates on my car.
