There are advantages to having a droll sense of humor. You can wear corduroy and no one will think you are eccentric. You can quote Twain selectively and no one will think you are showboating. You can have just the right touch for mocking mudsills without appearing politically incorrect. You can hang with fellow Southerners and after a long night of lies and booze around 2 a.m.after someone says we could move back to Mobile or Charleson someone else will say you can't go tome again and someone else will conclude the night with the past isn't over it isn't even past. The Southerners will then sigh as only Southerners can sigh remembering those old cotton fields back home and grandpa plowing with a mule. even if's only imaginary.
