I like Okra. When I lived

in Texas distance was measured in beers drunk, "how far to the beach daddy? Only 3 more beers kids"

The good

ole days.

In East Carolina...

All

festivals are named after seafood.

Two pickup trucks stopped on a two lane road next next to each other...

"Carolina Telephone".

If your employees don't show up for work either the surf's up or the Trout are

runnin'.

You "cut off the lights"

A long distance is a "fer piece".

If its tourist season, why can't you

shoot them?

The tide got so high the sharks et the collards.

And of course BBQ is chopped pork from an open

spit with a vinegar based sauce. There's only one thing hotter and sweeter, or vice versa if you make the wrong

choice in a woman. :)
