Sorry Ladies - don't want you all feeling like "mushrooms"! LOL

I had the opportunity to meet sher at her business expo last year.

We were all at dinner and she said (now, read this outloud with a thick southen accent to get the effect), "I've been so stressed all day, that I've had the taste of burnt panties in my mouth (pennies is what she was TRYING to say).

I burst out laughing, and was rolling on the floor peeing my pants. I'm thinking, "hmmm, must be a southern thing!"

So, thus evolved our joke. Also, just so Y'all know...sher LOVES monkeys (let's do a monkey campagin - and all send her one...wouldn't that be a hoot!)

Since then, on stressful days, I HAVE tasted burnt pennies in my mouth - I just figure her psychosis (or however you spell that) has oozed into my body! LOL

And that, my friends...is the rest of the story!

That is funny...we do talk a little different down here in the south...my son (who does not speak southern) called the other day...I mentioned that I had gone to Sunday School...he stopped and asked me to repeat school...he cracked up laughing...I asked him what was so funny about school? He then repeated it the way I say it...he even asked me to spell it...sheesh...it sounds like skoooooo....he asked me where the 'L' was...being a smart ass I told him the 'L' was silent. I could go on and on...

I love the accents here in TN. Very Southern Belle. The stronger the accent, the better I like it.

When I owned my DQ sometimes people would come in and ask for a vaniller cone. Where did the "r" come from?

The "r" came from Maine -- I'm sure of it!

They have wayyy tooo many "r"s in their words!

My sister is from Baldemore, hon. She's moved all over the South. Every now and then when I speak with her, I hear this southern stuff rolling off her tongue. I just love it. I wish I had a Southern accent. This Baldemore stuff is for dem birds...that's Oryol Birds, hon! You know...our profeshnal baseball team?

Oh my, my, my. I LOVE the southern accents too. "profeshnal baseball team" Love it, Dotsie.
One thing I've noticed here is that any man can sound like Elvis. That's because ville is pronounced vull here, just like the King used to talk.
I met the forman of the construction team around here when he told me to "Git over heeyah and take a look at this frawg." At least I waited until I got back into my house to burst out laughing. It was too cute. As a recent convert to the South, I just can't imagine living anywhere else, ever again!

How wonderful that my legacy is the taste of burnt panties and monkeys.

Even Oprah can't say that!

I just got an ecard from Danita that totally made my day. A monkey wearing angel wings that said, "Sher...I think I taste burnt panties..."


Thanks, Danita!!!!
